Meanwhile, revenue from accommodation and eating out services in the period picked up 48.1% year on year to 377.8 trillion VND thanks to rocketing demand for entertainment and tourism in summer after more than two years of travel and going-out restrictions prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Can Tho posted a 95.5% rise in this type of revenue, Da Nang 84%, HCM City 76.3%, Quang Ninh 72%, and Hanoi 65.2%.

To stimulate consumption, the GSO suggested the Ministry of Industry and Trade closely monitor developments in the domestic and world economy and proactively propose suitable response measures. The ministry should also coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies to guide enterprises in better optimizing signed free trade agreements, including the RCEP./.
