2024 is expected to be a good year for Vietnam's tourism sector as positive signals have been seen in many destinations such as Phu Quoc, Tay Ninh and Da Nang right from the beginning of the year.
In Phu Quoc, a popular tourist destination in the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang, recovery signs have been seen since late 2023 with a surge in the number of tourists, welcoming 2,000-2,500 foreign visitors each day.
Meanwhile, the southern province of Tay Ninh made a surprise in 2023 with a record 5 million visitors taking the cable car to Nui Ba (Ba Mountain) in the year.
The central city of Da Nang is also a promising destination in 2024 thanks to a rising trend from 2023. Local accommodations served more than 7.4 million guests in 2023, doubling the number in 2022, including more than 2 million foreigners.
Last year, Vietnam received 12.6 millio𓃲n foreign arrivals, 3.5 times ⭕higher than 2022, exceeding the target set at the beginning of the year by 57%.
The number of domestic tourists hit 108 million, 5.85 higher than the target, while the sector’s revenue was estimated at 27 billion USD, surpassing the goal by over 3% and equivalent to 90% of the figure recorded in 2019./.
