According to information from the General Statistics Office, the number of international visitors to Vietnam in July 2024 reached 1.15 million (up 10.9% over the same period last year). In the first 7 months of 2024, the total number of international visitors reached nearly 10 million (up 51% over the same period in 2023) and up 1.9% over the same period in 2019.
South Korea continues to be the largest market sending visitors to Vietnam with nearly 2.6 million arrivals (accounting for 26%). China ranks second with 2.1 million arrivals (accounting for 21.4%). The two markets of South Korea and China contribute nearly half of the total number of international visitors to Vietnam from the beginning of the year to July.
In third place is Taiwan (732 thousand arrivals), the US in fourth place (478 thousand arrivals), Japan in fifth place (380 thousand arrivals). In the top 10 largest markets of Vietnamese tourism, there are also Malaysia and Australia (281 thousand arrivals), India (272 thousand arrivals), Cambodia (260 thousand arrivals), Thailand (248 thousand arrivals).
According to data analysis from the General Statistics Office, most markets recorded growth. Notably, Asia increased by 57% from major markets in the Northeast Asia region: China (growth of 190%), South Korea (growth of 37%), Japan (growth of 34%), Taiwan (growth of 76%).
Southeast Asian markets also achieved good growth, such as Indonesia (growth of 107%), Philippines (growth of 58%), Malaysia (growth of 7%), Cambodia (growth of 15%), Singapore (growth of 6%).
The two potential markets ranked 7th and 8th, Australia and India, continued to grow well, both reaching 27%. The market connection and tourism promotion activities of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism in Australia in June are expected to create momentum for stronger growth of this market in the coming time.
European markets continued to grow well in the past 7 months (growth of 47%); of which Russia increased by 75%, Italy increased by 61%, Spain increased by 38%, France increased by 33%, Germany increased by 27%, Sweden increased by 27%, Denmark increased by 26%, Belgium increased by 26%, Switzerland increased by 25%...
A positive sign is that despite the low season of international tourism, the number of visitors from key markets in Europe to Vietnam in July 2024 still increased compared to the previous month. This shows that the effectiveness of the open visa policy and a series of promotional activities of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism in recent times in key markets such as France, Germany, Italy, and Russia have initially shown effectiveness.
From now until the end of 2024, it is expected that the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism will continue to implement programs to introduce Vietnamese tourism in major markets such as China, India, Australia and New Zealand; organize a program to promote Vietnamese tourism and cinema in the US; participate in a number of international tourism fairs, including WTM 2024 in the UK...
The peak international tourism season will come in the last months of the year, along with a series of tourism promotion activities in many key markets, which are expected to become a "push" to help Vietnam's tourism industry soon achieve the goal of welcoming 17-18 million international visitors in 2024.
