As the doors to Vietnam begin to open to travel after months of being closed, our eyes and ears are keenly focused on what the entry conditions will be. Most importantly for international travellers, as the doors to us have been closed since March 2020.

In this Episode which is Part 1 - of a 3 part series, I am fortunate to have Miquel Angel on the program as Head of the Human Resources & Quality working group inside the Vietnam Tourism Advisory Board, a private entity advising the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam.

Miquel joins the podcast as my guest shortly after meeting with the Ministry which announced that they would open 5 provinces being:- Phu Quoc Island, Danang, Khanh Hoa Province the home to Nha Trang city, Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh Province, and Hoi An in Quang Nam Province ; under very strict conditions.  

What these conditions of entry are, and how they roll is what this Episode is focused on.

We discuss the background to Visas, quarantine, conditions of stay, and travel Insurance. All relevant to visiting these locations.

Miquel, a Catalan citizen, originally from 100 km north of Barcelona resides in Ho Chi Minh City. His knowledge of Vietnam during his 22 years of living and working here is wide, and as much as possible, is always linked to sustainability, tourism training and development of the hospitality industry. He is highly regarded in the circle of government and I think it is with good fortune I was able to have him on the show willing to help us understand the protocols of the opening.

Please stay tuned for Episode 2 in this series as Miquel and I continue to unwrap the travel landscape of Vietnam and guide travellers to their best stay in the country.
