Vietnam tourism: Work in progress

Vietnam has fallen short of its 10-year target for tourism although it met two of its goals, achieving 25 million domestic tourists by 2009 and reaching more than US$4 billion in annual revenue by 2010.
The tourism sector had planned to receive up to six million foreign tourists in 2010, but reached only five million.
The industry had targeted annual GDP growth of 11 per cent, but was unable to reach that figure.
Experts have blamed the lack of progress on shortage of land in coastal cities to build large hotels and resorts, the poor quality of human resources working in the industry, and a shortage of tour guides speaking foreign languages.
