INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ON TOURISM OF VIETNAM

3.1. Participate in Tourism Conference Organizations.

Implement multilateral and multi-dimensional cooperation. That is the establishment of international organizations in the region and in the world to help each other develop together. Organizations such as the United Nations (UN) with the purpose of maintaining peace and security in the world, developing friendly relations between nations based on the principles of equality, autonomy, and cooperation in all fields. In Europe, there is the European Economic Community EEC, with its own regulations on currency, common development strategies of the countries in the bloc and the countries in the bloc helping each other develop together. In Southeast Asia, there is the ASEAN organization, including 11 member countries in the Southeast Asian region, aiming to cooperate to develop the economy, culture, and society of the countries in the region. With the purpose of helping to develop tourism worldwide, the World Tourism Organization (WTO) was established on February 1975. In

as well as expanding sub-regional cooperation. The fact that countries are increasing the number of conferences and seminars on issues related to national economic development, on the one hand, aims to find the best solutions to the issues mentioned, on the other hand, through these conferences and seminars, international cooperation activities are more closely linked and raised to a new level.

The forms of integration are very diverse, in many different ways and everything has two sides, integration on the one hand creates opportunities and advantages, at the same time it also creates difficulties and challenges. Each country bases on its socio-economic situation to find the right integration direction, as a guideline for all actions to

Many limitations and negative social impacts such as corruption, bribery, alienation of state leaders, and global issues are very acute. However, we cannot deny the successes and progress of the open economic mechanism, regional and international integration. Therefore, the path that our Party and State have chosen is completely in line with the general trend of the world today.

In the general trend of economic integration, Vietnam Tourism is identified by the Party and State as a spearhead economic sector. Implementing the development of the tourism industry in line with the regional and world integration trend, Vietnam Tourism has had proud successes, but there are also many shortcomings and challenges.

Vietnam. Thus, in the field of tourism, foreign tourists will follow the tourism programs of foreign companies, will stay and eat at hotels and restaurants invested and managed by foreigners, and will use services organized by foreigners. At that time, Vietnamese tourism and hotel businesses will only act as agents or representatives for foreign countries. Foreign businesses will use high-quality local labor to improve service quality and ensure the rights of tourists. The concept of high-quality labor here can be understood as people with professional skills and techniques, foreign language proficiency (foreign language according to the market of the visitors, and according to the profession they are doing), have a sense of work, good communication skills and good health. This requires human resource training facilities serving tourism to have appropriate training plans and strategies to meet the needs of businesses.
