Besides, the club is expected to become a bridge between travel service providers and government administration agencies, ensuring the legitimate interests of tourists.

Vietnam has become a preferred destination of Japanese tourists in recent years. The number of Japanese visiting Vietnam increased rapidly in last years. Especially, in 2013, the number has reached a record of over 600,000 arrivals. Simultaneously, Japan is an attractive destination for Vietnamese tourists.

Specifically, in the first 6 months of 2014, the number has increased up to 50%. Tourism has become a bright spot in the economic relation between the two countries.
