The Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Thursday allowed the resumption of train tourist tours to boost cross-provincial travel. However, it said that relevant tour operators must be subject to the cross-provincial COVID-19 circuit breaker mechanism.
The decision was made accordingly with the efficient coordination of epidemic prevention and economic development, the ministry said.
