International visitors to Vietnam in September reached 1.27 million.
The General Statistics Office reported that the total number of international visitors to Vietnam in September was 1.27 million. In the third quarter of this year, more than 3.8 million international visitors came to Vietnam. When compared to the previous month’s figure of 1.43 million, there was a significant decrease in September.
During the first nine months of the year, international visitors totaled 12.7 million. Visitors arriving by air extracted for nearly 10.8 million, representing 84.9% of the total, an increase of 38.7% compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, 1.8 million visitors arrived by land, representing 13.8%, an increase of 68.1%.
South Korea remains the largest source market in September, with over 355,000 visitors. China ranked second with over 257,000 visitors. Other leading markets included Taiwan (China), Japan, and the United States.
At the end of September, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism (MOCST) successfully implemented a tourism and film promotion program in the U.S. from September 23-25, under the theme “Vietnam – The New Destination for Global Cinema.”
The program introduced and promoted Vietnam as a tourism destination and a potential location for film production, aiming to attract Hollywood film studios to shoot major films in Vietnam that could create international media buzz, thereby promoting tourism and attracting more visitors to the country.
Despite the decrease in visitors in September, the tourism industry is determined to achieve its target of 17-18 million international visitors this year, as the last three months of the year are the peak season for international arrivals.
“Based on these factors, we believe that the goal of welcoming 18 million international visitors this year is achievable,” said Nguyen Le Phuc, Deputy Director General of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.
