Getting ready for welcoming foreign visitors to Vietnam During the outbreak of COVID-19, Anna, a French woman who has been working in Vietnam for nearly three years, did not return to France but chose to stay in Hanoi. She said that since being unable to travel abroad between May and early July, she and her friends had made several trips to many cities in Vietnam. “At that time, the Vietnamese tourism industry was implementing the first stimulus programme, and tour prices plummeted amid the many attractive incentive programmes. This strategy had instant results because when I went to any tourist destination, I found that they were full of Vietnamese tourists. Sometimes I wanted to find somewhere private and less noisy, but this was very difficult as many high-end hotels and resorts had to lower their prices significantly,” Anna said. After controlling the pandemic at the beginning of May, Vietnamese tourism industry launched the largest domestic tourism stimulus programme ever with the slogan “Vietnamese travel Vietnam”. The programme was mainly aimed at domestic customers with typical tours suitable for the needs of Vietnamese. Without international tourists, most travel businesses, including those that previously specialised in serving foreigners, focused on building products to serve domestic tourists with growing demand. Therefore, the few foreigners living in Vietnam, who like tranquillity and privacy like Anna, found it difficult to find these qualities at popular destinations. However, this difficulty could be solved as recently, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has officially launched a second domestic tourism stimulus programme with the theme “Vietnamese tourism – safe and attractive”, which will be deployed in the last months of 2020. Not only limited to Vietnamese guests, this programme will also be expanded to attracting foreigners living in Vietnam as well as the more than 5,000 international visitors per week when international …

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) said Tuesday Britain had failed to protect potential victims of child trafficking in a case dating back to 2009, and breached two articles relating to the prohibition of forced labor and the right to a fair trial. The court ordered Britain to pay 25,000 euros in damages and 20,000 euros for costs and expenses to each of the applicants, who are now in their 20s. The British government has three months to decide whether to appeal the ruling at the ECHR's grand chamber. Britain's Home Office (interior ministry) said in statement that it was "carefully considering" the judgment. "The government is committed to tackling the heinous crime of modern slavery and ensuring that victims are provided with the support they need to begin rebuilding their lives," it said. Anti-slavery advocates welcomed the ruling and said it could affect the treatment of victims in other European nations. "It's actually a game changer on the rights of all victims of trafficking to protection," said Parosha Chandran, a barrister who represented one of the two applicants in the case. "This judgment will count for many victims today, tomorrow and in many years to come," she added. In its ruling, the Strasbourg-based court outlined how the two Vietnamese applicants - referred to as V.C.L. and A.N. - were discovered working on cannabis farms in Britain in 2009, and charged with drugs offenses to which they pleaded guilty. Following their conviction, the two teenagers were detained in young offenders' institutions before later being recognized by British authorities as victims of human trafficking. However, prosecutors ultimately concluded that they had not been trafficked and Britain's Court of Appeal ruled that the decision to prosecute them had been justified, the ruling said. But the ECHR said prosecutors did not give clear reasons to challenge the classification of the two Vietnamese as victims of trafficking, and that the Court of …
