Vietnam’s tourism industry is seriously short of highly-qualified human resources, especially in senior management positions. According to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, with the goal of developing tourism into a spearhead economic sector, 40,000 qualified workers are needed each year.
After re-opening on March 15, Vietnam’s tourism sector has made an impressive recovery but is also facing major pressure to maintain sustainability. It needs to reinvent itself, with new products and upgrades to existing and traditional products, and to link tourism development domestically and internationally.
