Barring unavoidable or unpreventable events, the safety of cross-border tourists is the responsibility of the country the tourists are traveling in, according to an agreement reached between Chinese and Vietnamese tourism administrations.
The agreement on cross-border tourist safety was reached Tuesday at a meeting between a delegation of the Tourism Administration of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and a delegation of a provincial tourism administration of Vietnam.
During the meeting, both sides pledged they would make tourist safety their top priority in tourism administration and work hard to improve the security of tourist facilities.
According to Vietnamese statistics, a total of 609,000 Chinese tourists went to Vietnam in the first ten months of 2002, making China the country's largest source of tourists.
