Under the theme “Beautiful Vietnamâ€, a contest to seek excellent tourist guides will be held from December 1-12, 2008 across the country.
The contest is co-organized by the Vietnam Tourism Association (VITA), the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), and representatives from a project to develop tourism human resources.
The preliminary round will be held in northern, central and southern Vietnam with around 15 candidates in each region. The final round will be held in Hanoi with ten candidates selected from the preliminary round.
Participating candidates should be tour guides who are member of a local tourism agency.
