Vietnam’s tourism sector performed well over a five-day break to celebrate Reunification Day and May Day holiday, serving more than 300,000 international visitors and nearly 7 million domestic travelers, earning 24 trillion Vietnamese dong (US$1.02 billion). The number of tourists increased 40% and earnings grew 9% from the same period of last year. The occupancy rate at tourism attractions was recorded at between 60 and 100%. However, congestion on certain stretches of the national highway network and at crowded tourist destinations, along with labor shortages in the sector, led to some service cuts and revenue losses. Vietnam experienced a surge in foreign arrivals in the first four months, accounting for 3.68 million, which is 19.2 times compared to the same period in 2022. The total number of travelers by road soared 50% in April from the previous month following the country’s welcome of the first Chinese tour groups via land border gates in mid-March. The majority of the arrivals in the first four months were from Asia. Vietnam aims to receive 8 million foreign arrivals, earning about US$27 billion in revenue this year.
