Covid-wary localities vary travel rules, hinder tourism revival
Not certain about the rules and conditions that they have to comply with in different localities, both tourists and tourism firms are hesitant to make travel plans.
Last month, Duc An, a Hai Phong resident, planned to take his family to the popular resort town Sa Pa in Lao Cai Province as a break after being confined to home for a long time because of the pandemic.
Based on instructions from Lao Cai’s health department, those coming from Hai Phong, deemed a ‘green zone’ with low Covid-19 risks, would be exempt from quarantine. His family would only need to furnish a negative Covid-19 certificate.
