Vietnam has announced that it plans to spend $1.5bn on developing their tourism sector between now and 2010. Most of that money will be spent on upgrading roads leading to tourism resorts nationwide, and developing new infrastructure projects. The country hopes to receive as many as 6m international visitors and 26m domestic visitors by 2010. Vietnam registered nearly 3.5m international arrivals and 16m domestic visitors in 2005, according to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT).
