Vietnam-China tourism cooperation anticipated to thrive

Thanks to the close cooperation between Vietnamese and Chinese travel firms and harmonised tourism promotion policies of the two countries, the number of Vietnamese and Chinese tourists travelling to the other country has completely recovered with strong growth potential.

According to the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism, in the first seven months of this year, 2.1 million Chinese visitors arrived in Vietnam, a surge of about 200% year on year, making China the second largest tourist market of Vietnam after the Republic of Korea.

According to the authority, after the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism cooperation between Vietnam and China has expanded considerably.

At the same time, China has continuously issued attractive entry-exit policies, while improving tourism service quality, diversifying payment methods and continuously organising events to introduce its popular tourist attractions.

Over the years, China has been one of the leading tourist markets of Vietnam, making up about 30% of the total international visitors to the country.

The booming in the number of visitors between Vietnam and Chinese is also thank to the close coordination among travel firms of the two countries, especially in exploiting destinations that can be reached by road or short flights./.
