Hanoi

FOREIGN tourists who are fully vaccinated will be allowed into parts of Vietnam over the next few months, with the resort island of Phu Quoc - in Kien Giang province - gearing up to welcome overseas guests again from Nov 20.

Kien Giang is among several cities and provinces that the Vietnamese government has picked to receive foreign visitors - the others are Khanh Hoa, Quang Nam, Da Nang and Quang Ninh, all of which are popular tourist and beach destinations.
