Tourism sector pioneers to prepare for ASEAN integration
The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism held a press conference in Hanoi on October 22 to present the implementation of Mutual Recognition Agreement on tourism labour in the ASEAN and activities towards integration of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) of Vietnam Tourism.
Ha Van Sieu, Deputy Head of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism said that the ASEAN countries signed eight Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs), including the Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Tourism Professionals (MRA-TP).
The MRA-TP will open up many opportunities but also pose challenges, requiring Vietnam’s tourism sector to be well prepared, Sieu stressed.
Vietnam’s tourism sector has been preparing its human resources, as the formation of the ASEAN Community allows the free flow of labourers in the hospitality industry.
Vietnam has sent suitable labours to attend training programmes organised by ASEAN to develop a pool of ASEAN Trainers and ASEAN Assessors for housekeepers, chefs, receptionists, and restaurant waiters.
The country has also involved in building and distributing guidelines on training and assessing tourism labourers and the curriculum for joint ASEAN tourism training courses.
The tourism sector has been establising a set of Vietnam Tourism Occupational Standards.
