In June alone, Vietnam welcomed more than 1.2 million international tourists, a year-on-year rise of 28.1%.
Revenue from accommodation and restaurant services was estimated to increase by 15.2% and travel tourism jumped 37.1% from last year.
The increase was mainly attributed to the country’s favourable visa policy and enhanced tourism promotion programmes from provinces and centrally-run cities nationwide.
The Republic of Korea remained Vietnam's largest tourist market, with 2.28 million arrivals, followed by China and Taiwan (China) with 1.89 million and 630,000 visitors, respectively.
