Foreign visitors to Vietnam near 10.7 million in H1, half of full-year target
Asia remained the largest market, accounting for over 8.41 million visitors (over 78%), marking a 21.1% increase year-on-year. Arrivals from Europe rose 26.5% to 1.34 million, while visitors from the Americas grew 8.6% to 582,800. - Photo: Vietnam News/ANN HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): Vietnam welcomed nearly 10.7 million international arrivals in the first half of 2025, marking an increase of nearly 21% compared to the same period last year, and up 26% compared to 2019 – the 'golden era' of Vietnamese tourism before the Covid-19 pandemic struck. According to newly released data from the National Statistics Office, in June alone, Vietnam received nearly 1.5 million foreign visitors, down 4% from the previous month. The H1 figure stood at 49% of the full-year target of 22-23 million tourists, but it should be noted that the peak international tourism season in Vietnam lasts from October to March. Air travel remained dominant, with over 9 million arrivals by air (accounting for over 85% of the total number, and up by 22.7% year-on-year, followed by nearly 1.4 million by land, and the remainder arriving by sea. Asia remained the largest market, accounting for over 8.41 million visitors (over 78%), marking a 21.1% increase year-on-year. Arrivals from Europe rose 26.5% to 1.34 million, while visitors from the Americas grew 8.6% to 582,800. Tourist numbers from Oceania reached 304,200, up 14.1%, whereas arrivals from Africa edged down 0.3% to 25,200. Tourists from Northeast Asia account for 60% of total international visitors to Vietnam in the first half. Chinese tourists continue to top the list with over 2.7 million arrivals, followed by those from the Republic of Korea with 2.2 million. Next in line are visitors from Japan, Taiwan (China), the United States, and India. In the opposite direction, more than 4 million Vietnamese travelled abroad in the past six months – a rise of nearly 54% compared to the same period last year. 'Transport and tourism activities have surged to meet consumer demand both regionally and globally, making a positive contribution to economic growth. The value added by the service sector in the first half of the year rose by over 8% year-on-year – the highest rate for the same period since 2011,' the statistics office noted. According to a report by leading consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Vietnam ranks among the world's top emerging tourism markets, alongside China, India, and Saudi Arabia. These markets are quickly overtaking traditional tourism powerhouses such as the US, the UK, and Germany. The May edition of the World Tourism Barometer published by the US Tourism Organisation (UN Tourism) revealed that in the first quarter of this year, Vietnam recorded the sixth-highest growth in international arrivals worldwide – up 30% from the same period in 2024. Within the Asia–Pacific region, Vietnam ranked first, followed by Japan and the Republic of Palau. Bloomberg reported that Vietnam has emerged as the third most-visited country in Southeast Asia, with 17.5 million international visitors last year – surpassing Singapore and trailing only Malaysia (25 million visitors) and Thailand (35 million visitors). Experts believe the growing number of direct flights from other countries to Vietnam is one of the key factors fuelling the country's tourism. - Vietnam News/ANN

Asean needs ‘bolder reforms' to attract investments in a more fragmented global economy, says Singapore PM
SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Asean must become a more seamless and competitive single market, one that attracts businesses and investments looking for alternatives in a more fragmented global economy. To get there, bolder reforms are needed, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in a video message posted on YouTube on July 5, adding that the association's 10 nations may be limited in scale individually but together have considerable weight. Asean today has 700 million people, and it forms the fifth-largest economy in the world and is projected to be the fourth largest by 2030. The next decade will be critical to unlocking its full potential, said PM Wong, who has just finished his introductory visits to Asean capitals, with the exception of Myanmar, which he said he hopes to visit 'when the situation is more conducive'. He said: 'Continued peace, stability and growth in Asean will transform our entire region – and this will translate to better jobs, opportunities and living standards for all our peoples.' The key to achieving this lies in closer integration among Asean economies. PM Wong noted that supply chains across the bloc already span multiple countries, leveraging their complementary strengths. He gave the example of cotton from the Philippines. This could be spun in Thai factories, dyed and sewn in Vietnam and exported to the world. 'This is the kind of cooperation we must strengthen.' To become a more seamless and competitive single market, Asean needs to reduce trade and investment barriers and make it easier for companies to operate across borders, said PM Wong. It also means negotiating a digital economy agreement across the bloc and linking payment systems as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand have done, he added. The seven other countries in the bloc are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines and Vietnam. Physical infrastructure including rail and power grid connections must also be enhanced, and Asean must also deepen its partnership with the rest of the world, PM Wong said. It already has seven free trade agreements with external partners, including the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership – the world's largest trading bloc, he noted. These existing agreements will be upgraded, and Asean is exploring new ones such as with the Gulf Cooperation Council and the European Union. These agreements open doors for businesses and make Asean more connected to global markets, he noted. PM Wong said Malaysia – the Asean chair in 2025 – has been pushing for these reforms, and Singapore fully supports these efforts. He added: 'The momentum will continue with the Philippines as chair next year, and when Singapore takes over as chair in 2027 – a milestone year marking Asean's 60th anniversary'. PM Wong was most recently in Cambodia where the two countries on July 2 announced they will deepen their collaboration in several areas, including renewable energy, high-quality carbon credits and trade in food products. He prioritised visits to Asean capitals because they are in Singapore's immediate neighbourhood, he said. 'We have close bilateral ties with all its members. And it is in our shared interest to have a strong and united Asean,' he said, adding that Singapore will work closely with these countries as well as others around the world, to keep Asean strong, effective and relevant for the future. He encouraged all Singaporeans to be 'part of this journey' and to learn more about the region, understand their neighbours and build connections. 'Because Asean's future is our future – and everyone has a role to play.' The world is going through profound changes and geopolitical tensions are rising. But this is not the first time the region has faced uncertainty, PM Wong noted. When the bloc was formed in 1967, the world was also in turmoil – right in the middle of the Cold War, a conflict between the US and the USSR and their respective allies. PM Wong said: 'Our founding leaders knew we were better off facing challenges together rather than alone.' He quoted S. Rajaratnam, Singapore's first foreign minister, who said 'if Asean does not hang together, we will hang separately'. 'So we came together – respecting each other's sovereignty and focusing on mutually beneficial cooperation. That unity helped lay the foundations for peace and stability in our region,' said PM Wong. The region has seen conflict before and was once an arena for proxy wars by major powers, he said. 'We do not want that to happen again. Neither can we afford to have disputes divide us.' Instead, Asean must work together to preserve peace and stability and keep the bloc open and inclusive – a region that is not dominated by any single power but where all the major powers are engaged and invested, said PM Wong. - The Straits Times/ANN
