In 2022, roughly 2.6 million foreign visitors to Vietnam were from Asia, hiking 19.5 times compared to 2021.
The number of tourists from Europe, the Americas and Oceania also saw surges of 31.8 times, 67.6 times and 125.2 times respectively from the previous year.
Vietnam received a record number of over 18 million international arrivals in 2019, the last full year before the pandemic broke out.
In 2020 and 2021, the number of international arrivals to Vietnam plunged 78.7 percent and 95.9 percent year on year respectively.
The country targeted serving over 8 million overseas tourists in 2023, according to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.
