This surge is the highest since Việt Nam reopened for tourism in March 2022, equivalent to the figure of January 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The total revenue from tourism is estimated to reach around VNĐ840 trillion (US$34.4 billion).
According to the Việt Nam National Administration of Tourism, South Korea continues to be the largest source market in January 2024, accounting for 27.6 per cent of the total. China ranks second, followed by Taiwan (China). Meanwhile, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Russia are the largest European markets for Việt Nam.
