The National Administration of Tourism will give certificates to branch offices of foreign travel companies in the country. According to the HCMC Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, seven or eight foreign travel companies are trying to open representative offices in Vietnam and over 20 foreign travel offices are operating on expired licenses and are waiting for renewal. The National Assembly approved the Tourism Law in late 2005 and the Government issued a guiding decree in June 2007. However, the Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism did not issue a circular to give detailed guidance of the government’s decree for the Tourism Law until last December. Under Vietnam’s legislative process, a law is passed by the National Assembly, and then the Government will issue a decree providing general guidelines for the law before a competent ministry brings out a circular to give guidance in detail. According to the HCMC Tourism Department’s website, as of September 22, 2008, HCMC had had 24 foreign travel company representatives including from South Korea, the U.S., Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, Australia, the Philippines and British Virgin Islands.
