Of the international arrivals, 88% came to the country by air, 10.9% by road, and 1.1% by sea. Revenue from tourism services went up 89% while earnings from accommodation and restaurant services rose 22%, the General Statistics Office said, attributing the increases partly to many holidays during the five months. Recently, Vietnamese tourism has continually been honoured by foreign media, helping enhance its attractiveness to international travellers. Notably, Cat Ba of Hai Phong city has been given the second place among the 10 most spectacular beaches in Asia by Microsoft Travel; Ninh Binh province named among the world's top 10 best hidden family vacation spots to visit in 2023 by Canada’s The Travel magazine./.
