According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the number of visitors from this country to Vietnam in the first quarter of this year increased by 54% compared to the same period in 2019.
A report by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism recorded that Australia ranked 8th among the 10 largest tourist sending markets to Vietnam in the first 6 months of 2025, with more than 276,000 arrivals.
Travel company InsideAsia Tours recorded a 46% increase in direct bookings in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, news.com.au reported.
Ms. Nicole Newport - Regional Sales Director of Australia at InsideAsia Tours - commented: "This is clear evidence that Vietnam is quickly becoming a top choice for Australian tourists."
Vietnam's strengths, she said, were its proximity to Australia and the diversity of experiences it offered - from richly cultural cities, bustling traditional markets to stunning natural landscapes.
“This diversity makes a trip to Vietnam feel like exploring many countries in just one journey,” she said.
In addition to cultural factors, impressive natural scenery is also a tourist attraction. Data from travel platform Klook shows that the number of hotel bookings in Vietnam from March to June this year increased by 250% compared to the same period in 2024; the number of experience tour bookings also increased by 170%.
“Vietnam used to be a little-explored destination for Australian tourists, but that is changing thanks to new routes and growing tourism infrastructure,” said Henry Hooper, Klook’s managing director for Oceania.
Another factor that makes Vietnam popular with Australian tourists is its reasonable cost.
According to Travel Money Oz, the Australian dollar exchange rate has increased steadily compared to the Vietnamese dong in recent months, giving tourists many advantages.
“An average meal or taxi ride costs just $5, while a litre of bottled water costs less than $1 – very convenient for travellers who want to avoid tap water,” said a company representative.
The latest report from the Australian Tourism Association (ATIA) noted that in April, Vietnam was the country with the highest growth in Australian tourists, reaching 28.5%, surpassing Japan (17%) and China (12.7%).
Including the first 4 months of 2025, Vietnam recorded a 25% increase in visitors from Australia, behind Japan (33.8%) and China (26.9%).
