In other news, the Vietnam Administration of Tourism is planning to cooperate with the European Union to get European copywriters and marketers to create a new tourism logo and slogan for the country after it decided to jettison a logo and slogan chosen from a contest held last year.

“Vietnam – a Different Orient,” the winner of the contest, attracted criticism for failing to highlight the attractiveness and advantages of Vietnam as a destination.
