The lists were based on businesses’ financial reports since 2022, their
reputation on the media, and surveys of companies and related parties conducted
between October and December this year.
Vietnam Report General Director Vu Dang Vinh said that the country’s tourism sector
hopes to serve 14 – 15 million travellers in 2024. Surveys of tourism and
hospitality companies showed that up to 66.7% of them expect a slightly more
optimistic prospect for the sector next year.
Up to 92.9% of the respondents believe that their revenue will increase while
85.7% are confident in profit growth in 2024, he noted, adding that their
confidence was driven by the new visa policy that took effect on August 15 this
year.
Under the new policy, e-visas are
granted to visitors from all countries, and those from a number of certain countries are
entitled to visa exemption for up to 45 days.
This visa policy has generated a golden chance for Vietnam’s tourism
sector as the country welcomed more than 1 million international arrivals for
four straight months. As many as 92.9% of the respondents considered this
policy as a leverage for the sector to continue growing next year, Vinh
said./.
