Vietnam’s tourism sector is projected to return to pre-Covid pandemic levels in 2025, authorities said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The industry accounted for 9.2 per cent of the Southeast Asian country’s annual gross domestic product in 2019, with a record 18 million international arrivals and 720 trillion Vietnamese dong ($30.2 billion) in revenue, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.<\/p>\n
Vietnam has also aimed to attract 35 million international visitors by 2030 with a steady growth of 13 to 15 per cent a year through a wide range of stimulus measures, Xinhua news agency quoted the authorities as saying in the latest development strategy.<\/p>\n
With the target to position itself as an ideal tourism destination in Southeast Asia, Vietnam will develop a quality and sustainable industry to draw high-spending and long-stay visitors.<\/p>\n
The tourism authorities plan to boost foreign tourist numbers from traditional markets including northeast Asian countries, Europe, ASEAN region, North America, Russia, and Oceania; targeting new emerging markets like India and Middle East countries; and launch more online publicity campaigns to raise awareness about its potential.<\/p>\n
Vietnam expects to open its doors to several tourism-focused projects to win over international visitors who are interested in medical, beauty treatments, or leisure activities combining meetings, incentives, conferences and events.<\/p>\n
Vietnam received nearly 1.8 million international passengers in January and February, with revenue from their spending estimated at $3.6 billion, paving the way for its tourism sector to earn $27.3 billion dollars this year, equivalent to 90.3 per cent of pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
