Two potential markets in the 7th and 8th positions are Australia and India, with the Australian market predicted to continue to grow strongly in the near future.
Vietnam is currently in the low season for international tourism, but the number of visitors from European markets in July still increased compared to the previous month. This is a positive signal from a key area of Vietnam’s tourism. Lenient visa policies are proving effective.
The leadership of the National Administration of Tourism of Vietnam expects the country’s tourism industry to successfully achieve the target of welcoming 17-18 million international visitors this year.
