(SPOT.ph) Now that vaccinations of frontliners and tourism workers are almost complete, Asian destinations are hoping to jumpstart international travel as soon as possible. Thailand, for one, already reopened their most popular spots like Phuket and Samui in July as part of their four-phase recovery plan. Vietnam is following suit after their government announced on October 6 that key destinations will reopen in the next couple of months with full resumption of tourism expected in June 2022.

Phu Quoc Island in Kien Giang Province was selected as the first destination to pilot the reopening plan to fully vaccinated international tourists in November. The island, which is located in southern Vietnam, is known for its idyllic beaches, underground sights, evergreen forests, and luxurious resorts. The Kien Giang Biosphere Reserve in the northern part is almost pristine, owing to its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Vietnam travel requirements make use of their plan that "clearly defines digital transformation and technology application as a significant solution to ensure safe tourism for destinations, service providers and tourists." They've developed Vietnam Safe Travel application, which tourists are required to use for health declaration; the COVID-19 safety declaration system for tourism service establishments, and the COVID-19 vaccination certificate system.

Quang Ninh Province, which reopened to domestic travelers in September, is also expected to welcome international tourists in November and December. Khanh Hoa Province has also proposed to reopen to foreign travelers with vaccine passports. Hoi An in Quang Nam Province is also in the processing their proposal to reopen to fully vaccinated passengers.
