Vietnam saw 3.66 million foreign tourist arrivals last year, and those from the Republic of Korea (RoK) accounted for the largest proportion with over 965,000, or 26.4%.
In December alone, the RoK was also among Vietnam’s tourist markets reporting impressive growth with 39.7%, along with Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
The results are attributed to Vietnam’s efforts to organise a wide range of promotion activities and events in the East Asian nation, right after Vietnam fully reopened its door in March 2022, including the Vietnam Culture-Tourism Festivals in Seoul and Gwangju cities.
For this year, the Vietnamese tourism sector has set targets of serving 110 million tourists, including around 8 million foreigners, and earning 650 trillion VND (27.69 billion USD)./.
