Of which, Northeast Asia is still the largest market sending visitors, accounting for 60% of total arrivals. China continues to lead with more than 2.7 million arrivals. South Korea is second with more than 2.2 million arrivals. The following markets include Japan, Taiwan, the US, and India.
In Europe, Vietnam welcomed more than 1.3 million visitors, up 26.5%; America welcomed nearly 583,000 visitors, up 8.6%; followed by Australia and Africa with 304,000 and 25,200 visitors, up 14.1% and down 0.3%, respectively.
According to the General Statistics Office, favorable visa policies, enhanced tourism promotion programs, and activities to celebrate major national holidays have attracted an increasing number of international visitors to Vietnam.
Previously, the World Tourism Barometer (May issue) of the United Nations Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) recorded that in the first quarter, Vietnam led the Asia- Pacific region in the growth of international arrivals (up 30% compared to the first quarter of 2024) and ranked 2nd in the recovery of international arrivals (up 34% compared to the first quarter of 2019). Globally, in the first 3 months of 2025, Vietnam ranked 6th in the growth of international tourist arrivals (up 30% compared to the first quarter of 2024) and ranked 4th in the growth of total tourism revenue (up 29% compared to the same period in 2024).
At the first Government Conference with localities after implementing the 2-level local government model held on the afternoon of July 3, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assessed tourism as one of the 10 highlights in the first 6 months of the year, contributing to the highest GDP growth in the same period in nearly 20 years.
Experts believe that if the tourism industry achieves the target of welcoming 22-23 million international visitors this year, and at the same time has products and services for visitors to spend heavily, this will be one of the key factors promoting domestic consumption to become a driving force for economic breakthrough, helping Vietnam achieve the target of 8% GDP growth in 2025 and double-digit growth in the coming years.
