The increase in tourism and service revenue is the main factor, which shows the positive recovery of Vietnam's tourism.
According to a report on the socio-economic situation over the first seven months of 2022, the General Statistics Office (GSO) announced on the morning of July 29, that international visitors to Vietnam in July reached 352,600 arrivals, an increase of 49% compared to the last month and 47.2 times higher than the same period last year.
In general, over the first seven months of 2022, international visitors to Vietnam reached 954,600 arrivals, 10 times higher than the same period last year.
The number of passengers continued to increase sharply thanks to the open-door policy, and international routes were almost completely restored.
According to statistics of the General Department of Tourism, in the first seven months of 2022, the total number of domestic tourists reached 71.8 million, an increase of 1,795 times the number of visitors in the whole year of 2021.
The high number of international and domestic tourists helps boost revenue for travel, accommodation and catering services.
Some localities had a high increase in tourism revenue over the first 7 months of 2022, especially Khanh Hoa, with an increase of 858.4%, Can Tho increased by 328.3%, Da Nang increased by 284.8%, Hanoi increased by 216.8% and Ho Chi Minh City increased by 111.4%.
