Vietnam was one of world’s busiest countries for summer holidays as the tourism recovery rate gradually picked up steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam ranked 19th in a list of 40 most visited countries based on an analysis of flight bookings between July 1 and August 31 by Spain-based travel data and analytics company ForwardKeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Southeast Asian countries, except Thailand, stood behind Vietnam on the list, including the Philippines at 23rd, Singapore 24th, Indonesia 27th, and Malaysia 36th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thailand was 14th and one of the only two Southeast Asian countries to break into the top 20 along with Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of foreign tourists arriving in Vietnam by air this summer jumped 12% over the same period last year but was 28% lower than pre-pandemic levels, the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam welcomed 2.3 million international visitors in July and August, equivalent to 80% of the figure during the same period in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of these, nearly 2 million visitors arrived by air, about 88% of pre-pandemic levels, according to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting August 15, Vietnam’s new immigration policy accepts e-visa registration from citizens from all countries and territories, with the visa valid for multiple entries and for 90 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to granting e-visas to all countries, the government also extended the duration of stays in Vietnam from 15 to 45 days for citizens of 13 countries unilaterally exempted from visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam has received 8 million foreign tourists so far, and striving to receive 12 million foreign arrivals by the end of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, the year before the pandemic, the country welcomed a record 18 million foreign visitors and earned tourism revenues of VND750 trillion ($30 billion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southeast Asian countries are in an international tourism recovery race, relaxing visa policies and boosting tourism promotion campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest report by travel firm Outbox Consulting Company, Vietnam’s tourism recovery rate in the first half of this year against the same period of pre-pandemic levels reached 65.7%, lower than neighbors such as Singapore (67.4%), Malaysia (68.3%), Indonesia (67.5%) and the Philippines (66%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thailand’s tourism recovery rate was 63%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thailand started granting visa exemption for Chinese and Kazakhstan tourists from September 25 while Indonesia recently offered its golden visa policy that allows foreigners to stay up to 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philippines last month trialed its first-ever electronic visa (e-visa) system starting with China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
