		<description>Thank you for the recommendation and ideas. They were useful for my assignment on Globalization in Vietnam tourism industry.  I wish the VNAT people understand what you all talk about.

Best of luck</description>

		<description>Peter, Is there a problem about branding, I wonder? No problem! Just use the slogan &quot;Wonderful VietNam&quot; and you close up to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. VNAT should credit me for the successful campaign somehow. Best regards, Reinhard</description>

		<description>Fantastic article but I also believe the basic issue is strategic planning

ie;- Developing a national tourism plan using a nationally agreed format based on provincial input
 
A steering committee should be made up with all the key players nationally and provincially including the government and private sector to ensure ownership
 
Key headings could be
 
Increasing productive Capacity
- Increasing investment
- Developing competitive export sport
- Increasing competition for internal air services
- Competency and quality of staff
 
Increasing Capacity Utilization
- Expanding market access
- Economic benefits from tourism
- Overcoming impediments for inbound tourism
- Developing market priorities
- Developing key segments
- Strategic directions
- Access for/to operators
- Tourism forecasting
- Satelite accounts
 
Efficiency issues
- Service standards
- Inbound operator standards
- Encourage on-line technology
- Identify key products
- Partnerships
- Education / international students
- Consistent tourism products
-Quality integrated web-site
 
Environmental Outcomes
- Eco tourism
- Sustainable tourism
 
Social Outcomes
- APEC charter
- Benefits of tourism to local community
- Cultural tourism
 
You also include impediments to tourism with responsibilty and time frames
This is a live document and will change with local specifics directly input by local experts

The oucomes would be very broad including documentation for potential investors, the education system, future developers and the goverment. You would see immediate increase in tourism numbers. The industry would become fully recognised for it input into the countries ecoomy and many other outcomes.
 
Vietnam is one of the most fantastic Asian countries which should be on every traveller&#039;s agenda. Let us be strategic and ensure it is. Let us move forward to ensure the potential economic benefits from growth and sustainability are realised</description>
