· FACT & FIGURE
Vietnam is making headlines in 2025 with over 9.2 million international visitors arriving in just the first five months of the year, showing a remarkable 21.3 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024.
With a record-breaking 1.53 million tourists arriving in May alone, Vietnam has not only recovered its tourism momentum but is thriving like never before. This incredible growth is driven by breathtaking destinations, improved infrastructure, and forward-thinking travel policies, making now the perfect time to plan your journey with IdealTravelAsia.
· VISA FACILITATION
One of the key reasons behind this surge is Vietnam’s new visa-friendly approach.
Expanded E-visa services and exemptions for travelers from countries like Germany, South Korea, and Japan have made the country more accessible than ever.
Major tourist markets such as South Korea, the United States, and Russia are leading the way. Russia alone has seen a 121 percent increase in visitor numbers this year, showing renewed interest from European travelers.
· HOT TOURIST DESTINATIONS
Popular cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City remain essential stops for international tourists. With their vibrant culture, deep history, and world-class street food, these cities offer unforgettable experiences. During the Tet Lunar New Year holiday, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City earned 270 million and 173 million dollars in tourism revenue respectively, thanks to exciting events and upgraded services.
Coastal escapes are shining brighter than ever. Phu Quoc, known as the Pearl of Vietnam, generated nearly 70 percent of Kien Giang’s Tet tourism income. With a major airport expansion underway, it is set to become Southeast Asia’s next premier island destination. Travelers are also flocking to Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Ha Long Bay, where Quang Ninh province recorded a 71 percent increase in Tet revenue.
· TRAVEL TREND
Vietnam’s younger travelers are also redefining the travel map. Gen Z and Millennials are venturing into lesser-known regions like Moc Chau and Lai Chau in the north. These areas, with their peaceful climate, green landscapes, and vibrant ethnic communities, have become social media sensations thanks to viral travel content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Another major shift is the rise of sustainable and independent travel. More visitors are seeking eco-conscious experiences, choosing homestays and community-based tourism over mass-market packages. This shift is helping local communities while protecting the natural beauty that makes Vietnam so special.
· INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADE :
Supporting this boom is a wave of infrastructure upgrades. The Vietnamese government is building 1,188 kilometers of new expressways and expanding airports like those in Dong Hoi and Phu Quoc. These improvements are helping travelers reach remote destinations more comfortably and efficiently.
Vietnam offers the perfect blend of modern energy, natural wonder, and cultural richness. Whether you dream of relaxing on tropical beaches, savoring street food in bustling cities, or exploring peaceful mountain landscapes, IdealTravelAsia can create the journey that’s right for you.
