The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has issued a code of conduct for international and local tourists, tour operators and locals at tourism spots. The code of conduct includes articles regulating what tourists should comply with, such as standing in line and respecting local customs and culture. On January 5, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism also released a code of conduct for domestic and foreign tourists, in an effort to improve the image of the city.  Last year, similar rules were also released in some other localities, including Da Nang and NhaTrang. The capital city of Hanoi and Hoi An city in the central province of Quang Nam have also released their codes of conduct.-VNA
