Travel firms eye longer visa waiver for Japanese
Major travel agencies serving the Japanese market want the Vietnamese government to extend the visa exemption period for Japanese nationals from 15 to 30 or even 60 days.
After the hardships in the aftermath of the tsunami and earthquake last March, Japanese tourists now yearn for long holidays, a survey done by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism and Vietnam Airlines found.
Vietnam Airlines said it plans to increase the number flights a week from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Osaka in Japan from the current 48.
So far this year 268,491 Japanese visitors have arrived in Vietnam, up 11.7 per cent from the same period last year, making Japan the country’s fourth biggest tourism market.
