For many consecutive years, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Quang Ninh have always been the localities holding the top positions in tourism revenue and number of visitors thanks to their promotion strategies and unique products.
Ho Chi Minh City's tourism industry continues to be the leading unit in the country in terms of number of visitors, revenue and contribution to Vietnam's tourism industry in 2024, with the number of international visitors estimated at 6.1 million (up 20% over the same period in 2023), domestic tourists estimated at 38 million (up 8.6%), total tourism revenue estimated at 190 trillion VND (up 18.8%), all 3 targets achieved the annual plan.
Director of the National Tourism Administration Nguyen Trung Khanh assessed that “Ho Chi Minh City has always been a bright spot in tourism development, from building diverse and unique tourism products to effectively promoting the city's image to international friends. Tourism products such as MICE tourism, cultural-historical tourism, waterway tourism, medical tourism, and culinary tourism continue to create appeal and attract many domestic and foreign tourists; contributing significantly to increasing tourists' spending and extending their length of stay”.
In recent times, the city's tourism industry has continued to improve existing products and develop new products; continue to innovate in form, scale and content of tourism products bearing the city's brand such as the Ho Chi Minh City Ao Dai Festival, Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival, Ho Chi Minh City River Festival, Ho Chi Minh City International Tourism Fair...; promote tourism promotion activities in markets such as Laos, Australia, Germany, Japan, the US; participate in prestigious international tourism fairs in the region and the world.
In 2024, Ho Chi Minh City was honored by the World Travel Awards (WTA) as Asia's Leading Business Destination 2024, Asia's Leading Festival and Event Destination 2024, Asia's Leading MICE Destination 2024. The city's Department of Tourism was also voted by WTA as Asia's Leading City Tourism Management Agency 2024...
By 2025, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism aims to welcome 8.5 million international visitors, 45 million domestic tourists, with total tourism revenue estimated at VND260 trillion.
Hanoi ranked second in the list of localities with high tourism revenue, with a total number of visitors reaching nearly 28 million, total revenue reaching 110,000 billion VND (up more than 18% compared to last year). Of which, there were 6.35 million international visitors (4.47 million international visitors with accommodation), up 34.4% compared to 2023 and 21.51 million domestic visitors, up 7.5% compared to 2023.
According to experts, 2024 is a "bumper" year for Hanoi tourism when it is continuously honored with many major awards such as Tripadvisor, World Travel Awards (WTA). This is because Hanoi has built rich and unique tourism products based on natural resources and unique cultural values. In particular, unique tourism products have been formed associated with craft villages and cultural industries.
Hanoi tourism also offers a variety of experiences for visitors, from 5-star experiences to daily life experiences with local people, unique values from the countryside or "sidewalk culture" that the world does not have.
In order to promote this advantage and attract more visitors, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ho An Phong said that in the coming time, Hanoi needs to continue to build more unique tourism products, associated with the strengths of the locality.
“Tourism products often have a short ‘life cycle’, so product development requires research and evaluation of the market and customer flow to create suitable products that meet the actual needs of tourists,” the Deputy Minister noted, emphasizing that tourism development needs to be sustainable, focusing on environmental factors. Therefore, it is necessary to develop clean and safe tourism products.
Director of Hanoi Department of Tourism Dang Huong Giang said that based on potential and advantages, Hanoi tourism will filter to create unique products to attract tourists. In addition, it will promote cooperation with localities to increase tourism competitiveness.
In 2025, the capital's tourism aims to attract over 30 million visitors, an increase of 11.1% compared to the estimated implementation in 2024 with over 7 million international tourists (including 5 million visitors with accommodation), an increase of 27.3% compared to the estimated implementation in 2024 and 23 million domestic visitors (an increase of 7% compared to the estimated implementation in 2024).
In addition to the two largest cities in the country, Quang Ninh is the third name to appear on the list with a total number of visitors in 2024 estimated to welcome more than 19 million, total revenue reaching more than 46,000 billion VND. According to the assessment of tourism CEOs, this is one of the localities most heavily affected after Typhoon Yagi, if there were no natural disasters, Quang Ninh's year-end results would have been even higher.
Quang Ninh is a locality with a synchronous and modern transport infrastructure including highways, seaports, airports, border gates, along with a series of stimulus policies and expanded linkages to promote tourism advantages.
In 2024, many important programs and events will be held in Quang Ninh such as: Clipper Race round the world yacht race season 2023-2024, welcoming 4,5000 Indian MICE guests, as well as large MICE delegations from China and domestically.
To overcome the difficulties facing the tourism industry, especially the consequences of storm No. 3 (Yagi), the Department of Tourism has coordinated with the Provincial Tourism Association and tourism businesses to research, develop and launch tourism stimulus programs. The 2024 autumn-winter tourism stimulus program with the theme "Quang Ninh - a destination of four seasons" has attracted more than 300 businesses to participate with thousands of preferential product packages.
