Tourism cooperation between Viet Nam and Japan has continued to gather momentum in recent years. By expanding air links, accelerating digital transformation, and developing a wider range of tourism products, the two countries are steadily working towards their shared goal of achieving two million two-way visitor exchanges.

The Viet Nam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT) said the figures highlight the country’s rising profile as a safe, stable and increasingly compelling destination. It is the first time Viet Nam has surpassed 2 million foreign arrivals for four straight months, and the first time the January – April tally has reached 8.8 million.

Viet Nam’s tourism sector recorded strong momentum during the New Year 2026 holiday from January 1–4, welcoming an estimated 3.5 million visitors nationwide, according to the Viet Nam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT).
