The domestic tourism market in the summer of 2025 is showing positive signs when up to 41% of Vietnamese people said they plan to increase their travel budget in 2025 compared to last year, according to a recent survey by Booking.com.
Search data on this online travel platform between June 1 and July 31 also recorded that beach trips (61%) and nature exploration (59%) continued to lead the list of choices of Vietnamese families, followed by excursions to big cities (45%).
In the country, names like Da Nang , Nha Trang, Da Lat, Phu Quoc or Vung Tau are the most searched destinations. Among them, the number of visitors choosing Phu Quoc for trips of couples, families, and friends is overwhelming.
According to some travel companies in Ho Chi Minh City, people's demand for summer travel remains high, plus the bonus from tourism stimulus programs implemented by travel businesses.
The sales department of Viet Tourism Company said that the number of domestic tourists this summer could increase by 15-20% compared to the same period in 2024. Island destinations, modern entertainment areas and green resorts will still be the top priorities of tourists this summer.
At Vietravel, during this year's summer tourist season, although it is just the beginning of the season, the company has welcomed and served nearly 1,600 tourists to Phu Quoc.
According to the sales department, most tourists choose Phu Quoc tours of 3-4 days to travel with their families, especially families with children preparing for summer vacation. Vietravel assesses this as a positive sign that Phu Quoc tourism continues to receive attention from tourists.
"Familiar beach destinations still maintain their strong appeal and are receiving a lot of attention and advice from tourists, in which Phu Quoc has emerged thanks to catching up with tourism trends that emphasize personal connections, mental health care and authentic experiences," commented a Vietravel representative.
