Saigontourist accepts official rate

Saigontourist said its Vietnamese tourists can pay for tickets priced in US dollar at the listed foreign-exchange instead of at the blackmarket rate.

Doan Thanh Tra, manager of the company’s marketing department, said this would ensure customers’ rights as the free-market fluctuated.

Saigontourist has been recognised as one of the best travel firms in Vietnam . Last year, it had a turnover of more than 674 billion VND (40.8 million USD).
