IAG JUN 2022年6月 亞博匯 34 VIETNAM Recognizing the importance of its tourism industry, which contributed around 18.5% of Gross Domestic Product in 2019, Vietnam was among the first to trial a vaccinated passport scheme in 2021, even while COVID-19 case numbers soared nationwide. Initially open to five cities and provinces, Vietnam welcomed its first arrivals under the scheme to Quang Nam in November with around 430 international guests staying at Suncity’s Hoiana, followed by another 200 from South Korea soon after. Air borders opened more significantly from 1 January with arrivals from nine selected nations allowed, while in March authorities resumed visa free entry for arrivals from 13 countries. Most restrictions for fully- vaccinated travelers, including a previous seven-day hotel quarantine rule and COVID-19 test on arrival, were dumped in April and a requirement to obtain a negative test result within 72 hours of departure from their location removed from 15 May – a clear sign that Vietnam is now opening to the world. COVER STORY 越南 旅遊業對越南尤為重要，在2019年 旅遊業為該國貢獻了約18.5%的GDP。 因此，儘管境內確診人數仍不斷增長， 越南仍在2021年率先試行了疫苗護照計 劃。該計劃最初僅在五個城市及省份試 行，但隨後該國在去年11月迎來該計劃 下首批抵達廣南的遊客，當時約有430 名國際遊客入住了太陽城旗下的會安南 岸綜合度假村。不久之後又迎來了200 名來自韓國的遊客入住。 航班方面，越南自今年1月1日起， 允許來自9個選定國家的旅客入境。而在 3月，恢復了對13個國家公民的免簽政 策。 越南取消了對完全接種疫苗人士的 限制措施，包括7日強制隔離及入境時的 核酸檢測等，並自5月15日起，取消了要 求提供入境前72小時內核酸檢測陰性報 告的要求，這無疑是越南向世界開放的 明顯跡象。 Hoiana 會安南岸
