The first international tourists have touched down in Vietnam almost 20 months after the Southeast Asian nation closed its borders to contain the coronavirus.
Two charter flights brought more than 400 South Korean and Japanese fully vaccinated passengers from Seoul and Tokyo to the southern resort city of Nha Trang, state media reported.
The flights came ahead of Vietnam's plans to reopen the resort island of Phu Quoc to vaccinated foreign visitors on November 20 — with hopes to welcome at least 5,000 travellers in coming months.
