A video clip advertising Vietnam's tourism will be aired on the UK's Travel Channel from October 20.
The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) signed a contract with the channel for the 30-second video featuring Vietnamese culture, seas, islands and nature to be screened a total of 300 times of which 20 percent is broadcast during prime time.
Previously, Vietnam advertised tourism on the BBC, CNN and other channels. VNAT chose the Travel Channel this time because the UK is one of Vietnam's key tourism markets and UK nationals currently enjoy a 15 day visa waiver.
From now till the end of this year the VNAT will launch a number of promotion activities in Singapore, London (UK), Hong Kong (China) and Bangkok (Thailand).-VNA
