Interview Questions

After sharing task for each member very carefully. We decided to interview tourist at Hoan Kiem Lake and Old Quarter. We know that the street of the Old Quarter preserve age- old customs where have many temples, pagodas, monuments reflect the historic character of Vietnam. With historical importance, Old Quarter is the most charming place in Hanoi, so we think that is the place where attracts many foreign tourist. It is very favorable for our interview. I interviewed visitors and my partner write tourist’s information.

Daily, we only go to school and go back our home, so it’s not easy to approach foreign visitors but we tried to approach and interview them the most perfectly and naturally. Furthermore, Vietnam tourism has many problems such as: street vendors, beggars…so sometimes we were misunderstood as street vendors. And at the first time, we had many difficulties in approaching visitors; we didn’t know how to talk to them and we were lack of confident… We accessed to make acquaint visitors, but they felt anxious and worry and we tried to help them understand out tasks. Fortunately, after we introduce our self very clearly such as: “I’m student at Hanoi Open University, May I have your favor, please” and then I showed our name tag for tourist. After, tourists felt more comfortable, pleasant and enthusiastic, they were very friendly, open and willing to help us. We have really had honest talks, we discussed about Vietnam tourism. They mentioned that our transportation has many differences from their country. Our tourist complained about that very much. They said that was very dangerous and terrible! We were sad to hear that, we hope transportation will be better in the next time because it’s an important element for tourism.
