In addition, the government's proactive initiatives to promote tourism, such as visa exemptions for certain countries and marketing campaigns, are expected to stimulate market growth.
In 2024, Vietnam's tourism industry targets to welcome 17-18 million international tourists and serve 110 million domestic visitors, earning approximately VND840 trillion (US$34.5 billion). The number of international visitors to Vietnam is expected to remain at the same level as in 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic.
