International Tourists

This flight, conducted by Vietjet, the Vietnamese low-cost carrier, to Phu Quoc is the official launch of Vietnam’s “vaccine passport” pilot program.

In the first phase, there will be four one-way flights per week with a total number of arrivals of up to 12,000.

The tourism industry will have a chance to recover in the last months of 2021 and early 2022 when the Covid-19 pandemic is partly controlled.

The number of international arrivals to the country in November was higher than the previous month.

The request is made given the increasing flight frequencies and the number of passengers handled by the airport.

By 2030, the city expects to receive 48-49 million tourists, including 13-14 million international guests.

The tourism industry in Hanoi will focus on improving the capacity of human resources to secure the quality services in the coming time.

Dramatic drops in arrivals were seen in major markets such as China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan (China), Europe and the US.

International arrivals to Hanoi rose sharply in July but plunged against the same period last year due to travel restrictions.

Vietnam is expected to adopt “travel bubble” scheme with countries and territories where the coronavirus outbreak is under control.
