Vietnam Tourism Revenues Up 9% On Year to US$3.8B This Year
Vietnam’s tourism revenues are estimated to have grown 9% from a year earlier to VND70 trillion (US$3.8 billion) this year, said the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT).
The country has welcomed 3.8 million foreign tourists so far, down 11% on year.
The decrease is 5% higher than other countries in the Pacific-Asia region, it added.
The increase is attributed to the higher number of domestic tourists with a total of 25 million, up 19% on year.
Vietnam aims to welcome between 4.5 million and 4.6 million foreign travelers next year, up 21% compared to 2009. (Economy & Urban)
