The Hoiana casino resort has announced it will be allowed to receive foreign tourists once the \u2018safe tourism\u2019 programme is approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Vietnam.- The province of\u00a0Quang Nam<\/strong>, one of the major tourist destinations in Vietnam, has said it is ready to accept tourists, and the Hoiana club resort will be one of the locations to host international guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In dialogue with GGRAsia, Steve Wolstenholme, chief executive and president of Hoiana<\/strong>, said: “We are ready for domestic travellers by enhancing our safety programme, and encouraging vaccination for staff as well as offering several attractive promotions for luxurious stays and experiences.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said Vietnam’s vaccine passport programme has not yet been approved <\/strong>but that Hoiana will be one of the earliest resorts to welcome international guests. Hoi An, the city in Quang Nam where the Hoiana resort is located, hopes to start welcoming fully vaccinated foreign tourists from February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wolstenholme said\u00a0the company is encouraging its staff to get vaccinated\u00a0<\/strong>and he highlighted the IR’s safety programme. It is still unknown if fully vaccinated tourists will be exempt from quarantine-on-arrival and whether they will be limited to remaining on the grounds of the Hoiana resort or to visit specific sites in Hoi An city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vietnam\u2019s tourism sector has been deeply affected by the Covid-19 pandemic<\/a>. The gaming industry was also one of the hardest hit by restrictions<\/strong> as the government has tight restrictions on locals entering casinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In March, casino operators<\/a> asked the government to expand Vietnamese citizens\u2019 access to casinos<\/strong> in major tourist destinations such as Quang Nam and Ba Ria-Vung Tau<\/strong> to help casinos face the loss of revenue from tourists owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the government has said the current scheme<\/a> won\u2019t be expanded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Hoiana casino resort has announced it will be allowed to receive foreign tourists once the \u2018safe tourism\u2019 programme is approved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":23737,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The Hoiana casino resort in Vietnam is preparing to welcome international guests under an anticipated 'safe tourism' program, aiming for a February re-opening for fully vaccinated tourists.
