PART 2. READING COMPREHENSION
What has Việt Nam done to innovate products and services to sharpen its competitiveness?
In the initial stage of development we relied on available natural resources, which generated low
added value and modest benefits due to the lack of investment, innovation and high-quality products.
We are currently developing a project to restructure the tourism industry with a focus on creative and
high added-value services while reducing exploitation of natural resources. We are no longer
developing small, fragmented resorts (distractor), but encouraging large-scale or creative clusters.
Innovative products need big investments and high-quality services. For instance, travel agencies
organising adventure and exploration tours are urged to collaborate with the community at the
destination localities to develop products and services and design activities while ensuring hygiene
and safety for tourists. With good products, tourists will spend more and lengthen their stay, and these
benefits will spread to the entire community.
Việt Nam’s tourism faces the dilemma that there are too many things to advertise. What do you
think about choosing cuisine as the central feature for the country’s tourism brand?
