Vietnam welcomed approximately 1.7 million international visitors in June 2026, up 14.7% from the same month last year, according to the National Statistics Office.
In the first six months of the year, international arrivals reached nearly 12.3 million, an increase of 14.9% year-on-year. The result means Vietnam has already achieved almost half of its target of attracting 25 million foreign visitors in 2026, providing strong momentum for the tourism sector in the second half of the year.
China remained Vietnam's largest source market, accounting for 2.7 million arrivals, followed by South Korea with 2.16 million visitors. Together, the two markets contributed around 40% of total international arrivals, reaffirming their pivotal role in driving the country's tourism recovery and growth.
Europe recorded the strongest growth among all source markets in the first half of 2026, with visitor arrivals to Vietnam rising 56.1% year-on-year. In addition to robust growth from the Russian market, several Western and Northern European countries continued to post solid gains, including Germany (up 16.1%), France (13.8%), Denmark (18.6%), Sweden (23.8%), Switzerland (25.7%), the Czech Republic (30.1%) and Poland (52.1%).
