With roughly 35,000 foreign arrivals and 1.6 million vacationers during the recent 3-day New Year holiday, Ho Chi Minh City tourism sector hopes to attract more visitors to the locality during the New Year 2023.

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism on January 3 announced that the locality welcomed roughly 35,000 foreign arrivals and 1.6 million vacationers during the recent 3-day New Year holiday, earning more than 250 million USD.

As the Lunar New Year - the longest and most important annual festival for Vietnamese - is just around the corner, the City’s tourism sector will continue to launch assorted programmes and events to attract more visitors.

The city will strengthen support activities for tourists via Information Portal hotline which helps intensify collaboration among provinces, cities and travel agents, meeting visitors' information demands, creating a professional and friendly tourism atmosphere for holiday-makers coming to the city.

The city aims to greet 5 million international arrivals and 35 million domestic visitors in 2023./.
