The app will help improve the service quality of units in the tourism supply chain, as well as increase their interaction.

During the next stage, VNPT pledged to continue partnering with VNAT, cities, and provinces to popularise Vietnam’s tourism by updating the app features this year, including adding more destinations, Chinese and Russian language options, information on restaurants, shopping centres and traffic, digital mapping, audio guides, and 360-degree videos.

By 2020, it will develop new functions, adopt big data, and utilize artificial intelligence technology to increase users’ experience.

Hy suggested localities provide tourism information through the app to effectively introduce their locations and top sites to tourists.
