Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Da Lat, Hue and Phan Thiet were the most searched.
According to the VNAT, Vietnam’s tourism will still face challenges in 2024 due to the impact of global markets, geopolitical tensions, and the risk of natural disasters due to climate change.
The number of international visitors to Vietnam is forecast to be around the level in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic, while that of domestic tourists is expected to continue to grow but at a slower pace.
In 2024, Vietnam’s tourism industry strives to welcome 17-18 million international visitors and serve 110 million domestic visitors, earning about VND840 trillion (US$34.5 billion).
