During the five days from April 27 to May 1, 2025, an estimated 10 million visitors traveled for their holidays, marking a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Among these, about 4.5 million visitors opted for overnight stays.
This significant rise in tourist numbers reflects advancements in infrastructure, including upgraded accommodations and more convenient transportation options such as taxis, buses, airplanes, and trains.
Additionally, implementing effective tourism promotion policies has been essential in attracting visitors to emerging destinations, allowing them to immerse themselves in the natural and cultural beauty these areas offer.
This year's holidays also showcased a growing trend of self-driving vacations, as tourists seek to explore nearby locations more independently. This approach emphasizes the thrill of spontaneity—when the desire to travel arises, travelers simply take to the road.
Fortunately, safety protocols regarding security, environmental conditions, and food hygiene continue to be strictly enforced.
The marked shifts in quantity, demand, and seasonal tourism patterns have led to the introduction of various new products and trends appealing to both domestic and international visitors. Consequently, this has further fueled the desire to explore Vietnam’s breathtaking landscapes.
