VNAT launched the “Impressive Vietnam” (An Tuong Viet Nam) program in early 2009, featuring 99 tours with prices slashed between 30 to 40 percent. At present, 85 travel firms and 118 hotels are participating, offering over 300 cut-rate tours. Since the program was launched four months ago, the number of domestic travelers rose by 35 to 50 percent year on year but the number of foreign visitors to Vietnam has fallen by by 18%.
