Following (on from) the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism

Following on from the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) launching a price-cutting program, called “Impressive Vietnam”, which encourages tourism companies to slash their prices by between 30 and 50 per cent, a 50 per cent VAT reduction is to be applied on 18 categories, including hotel and tourism services together with CBU automobiles and components, engines, gear boxes, coal, and basic chemicals.

I am confused about the phrase "following on" here. Is it used correctly?
How about this?

"Following the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism...."
Thank you.
