Over the first 11 months, Vietnam welcomed more than 15.8 million international tourist arrivals, a year-on-year rise of 41%.
According to the General Statistics Office (GSO), nearly 13.4 million international tourists arrived by air, accounting for 85% of the total and marking a 36% annual rise. Over 2.2 million visitors entered Vietnam by land, representing a 67% growth, while 221,000 others arrived by sea.
Tourism revenue for the first 11 months is estimated at 2.3 billion USD, reflecting a 17% hike compared to the same period last year. This success is attributed to local tourism promotion efforts that have been in full swing since early this year.
Over the past 11 months, Asia sent the most tourists to Vietnam with nearly 80%, with a significant 60% coming from the Republic of Korea, China, Taiwan (China), and Japan./.
