Vietnam aims to build internationally competitive tourism growth poles

A notable feature of Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW is its focus on developing three major tourism growth poles – Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang – while gradually turning Phu Quoc into a new growth pole. It also calls for the development of 10 key tourism centres and 20 national tourism areas.

Vietnam welcomes nearly 13.9 million foreign visitors in seven months

The country has achieved about 56% of this year's target of 25 million foreign arrivals.

Ho Chi Minh City remains leading destination for international visitors

Beyond its traditional strengths in city tours, MICE tourism, shopping and cuisine, the city now offers a broader range of attractions, including coastal areas, eco-tourism sites, traditional craft villages, industrial tourism and cultural, historical and spiritual destinations.
