The official said the adjustments of visa policies and the exemption of visa for European visitors will help increase the number of European tourists to Vietnam.

By strategically combining its resources, EuroCham will be able to accelerate the recovery of Vietnam's tourism industry and enhance the reputation of the Central Highlands, he stated.

He noted the region has about 5.5 million hectares of agricultural land, which produced many world-famous products such as coffee, pepper, avocado, lemon, and passion fruit.

EuroCham is committed to supporting agricultural enterprises in the Central Highlands to take full advantage of the advantages brought by the E.U.-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), he said, stressing that there is still much to do to improve the agribusiness environment and make these products more popular in Europe.

He announced that many European companies are investing in renewable energy in the Central Highlands.

However, he pointed out that an investment corridor is needed to attract more foreign investment to the Central Highlands renewable energy industry, along with a clear legal mechanism to attract capital.
