Politburo Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW dated August 22, 2026, on developing Viet Nam’s tourism into a spearhead economic sector in the new era sets the goal of developing Vietnamese tourism into a high-quality, smart, green, creative and culturally distinctive sector with high added value, regional and international competitiveness, and strong spillover effects on other sectors and fields.

The Centre for Digital Transformation of Culture, Sports and Tourism under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism coordinated with relevant units to hold the closing ceremony and awards presentation for the “Impressive Viet Nam Tourism” Video/Clip Contest 2025 in Ha Noi on the evening of December 17.

Viet Nam welcomed 19.15 million international visitors in the first 11 months of 2025, up 20.9% year-on-year and surpassing its pre-pandemic peak of more than 18 million arrivals, according to the Viet Nam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT).

Viet Nam’s tourism sector is accelerating into the year-end peak season with strong momentum after 11 months of solid growth.

The Viet Nam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT) in coordination with the Tourism Development Support Fund are organising a Vietnamese tourism introduction programme in Beijing, Chongqing and Chengdu (China) from October 20-28 under the message: “Viet Nam – Timeless charm – Authentic experiences, living with green heritage.”

In 2025, Viet Nam’s tourism sector is aiming for the ambitious goal of welcoming 25 million international visitors. Achieving this target requires significant efforts from the entire industry, with timely facilitation policies alongside breakthrough and innovative solutions.
