Vietnam, Russia enterprises work on technological solution to boost tourism amid Covid-19

The agreement marks a beginning of a new phase of cooperation between Vietnamese and Russian enterprises, aiming to resume tourism activities and safe travel between the two countries.

T&T Russia, a subsidiary of Vietnam’s T&T Group, and CV-PASS under Russian corporation VR-Logistics on March 24 signed a memorandum of understanding to work on technological solutions to boost tourism amid Covid-19 pandemic.

Andrey Kolmogorov, general director of CV-PASS, called for two business communities to better adapt to the new circumstance and step up cooperation in development of new technologies, including quick antibody testing kits and digital software verifying antibody against Covid-19 at airports, saying these are key move to promote tourism between the two countries.

VR-Logistics CEO Evghniy Petrishev stressed the corporation gives strong priority to cooperating with its Vietnamese peers, especially in tourism and trade.

On his part, General Director of T&T Russia Nguyen Huy Hung Viet added the number of Russian tourists visiting Vietnam in the pre-Covid-19 period averaged 700,000 per year.

“T&T Russia looks forward to cooperating with Russian partners so that more Vietnamese would be able to come to Russia,” he noted.

T&T Russia started operation in May 2019 after T&T had obtained an investment certificate for doing business in Russia with capital of US$25 million.

The move marked a new step in the corporation’s expansion of trade and investment activities abroad.
