Vietnam, a nation that was previously ravaged by war, continues to be a strong magnet of visitors as 10.6 million foreign tourists have visited in the first five months of this year, according to a news report by VnExpress. The reported figure is significant as Vietnam attracted over 21 million foreign tourists last year.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…
Vietnam received a record 10.6 million international visitors in the first five months of 2026, up 14.9% year-on-year.
Data released by the General Statistics Office shows there were 1.78 million arrivals in May alone, up 17%.
The 10 largest source of visitors during the period were mainland China, South Korea, Russia, Taiwan, Cambodia, the U.S., India, Japan, the Philippines and Australia.
The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism attributed the strong growth to the country’s reputation as a safe and stable destination amid global political uncertainty.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think Vietnam will be able to attract as many as 25 million foreign tourists by the end of 2026? Do you plan to visit Vietnam someday?
