Continuously setting records in the number of international visitors, Vietnam tourism has not only recovered strongly but also approached the impressive revenue target of "trillions of VND". According to the General Statistics Office, in the first 8 months of 2025, international visitors to Vietnam reached nearly 14 million, an increase of nearly 22% over the same period last year. In August alone, more than 1.68 million visitors entered Vietnam, an increase of 8% over July and the highest compared to Augusts in previous years.
In that vibrant picture, Ho Chi Minh City contributed more than 5.2 million international visitors, 22 million domestic visitors, and tourism revenue exceeding 140,000 billion VND.
