According to the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism, Indian holidaymakers coming to Vietnam have increased relatively fast over the last five years.
While the annual growth stood at 26.7% during 2015 - 2019, the number topped 392,000 in 2023, marking a 231% surge compared to 2019.
Direct flights between Vietnam and India have helped reduce travel time for passengers, enhancing connectivity between the two countries.
Indian tourists are increasingly fond of travelling to Vietnam, which boasts a safe tourism environment, beautiful landscapes, diverse products, people's hospitality, and delicious cuisine.
In addition to tourism, Indians are also ready to spend big on booking entire 5-star hotels in coastal destinations, such as Quang Ninh, Da Nang, and Phu Quoc, for weddings.
Indians’ spending for tourism is forecast to reach 45 billion USD by 2025 and about 91 billion USD by 2030. They enjoy exploring new destinations. They love shopping, participating in outdoor activities, and visiting museums, cultural sites, and historical landmarks.
Given this, India is seen as a promising tourism market, that Vietnam should tap into in the time to come to attract more international visitors./.
