According to Nguyen Khac Khoan, a representative from Ninh Binh’s Department of Tourism, at present, 76 tourists from 31 countries and territories are staying in 28 local accommodation. Most of them came to Vietnam before the Covid-19 outbreak. They are facing difficulties to return home due to the pandemic and many have had their visas expire.
