Vietnam ranks 4th in ASEAN in attracting international tourists
This information was just announced by the ASEAN statistics department yesterday (September 17). The announcement also said that Vietnam's tourism industry has developed rapidly over the past decade, with an average growth rate of 9.8% per year.
According to the ASEAN Community Progress Monitoring Report 2012 and the General Statistics Office Yearbook, in 2000 the number of international visitors to Vietnam was only 2.13 million, this number increased to more than 6 million (2.8 times) in 2011.
The choice of tourists to Vietnam is quite different. The number of tourists from outside ASEAN to Vietnam accounts for the majority, about 88% of the total number of tourists, while tourists from ASEAN member countries only account for about 12%.
Vietnam is the 4th choice as a destination for tourists outside ASEAN, after Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.
