The Vietnam National Administraiton of Tourism (VNAT) estimates that the number of foreign travelers to Vietnam has been 3.7 million this year, a sharp fall of 80% compared with 2019. The number of domestic travelers is predicted to decrease by 50% despite a lot of sale promotion programs. However, COVID-19 offers an opportunity to reconsider the tourism market structure. Vietnam relies heavily on the northeastern market (China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan) which brought 67% of total foreign travelers in 2019. In 2015-2019, Chinese and Korean travelers to Vietnam increased by 34%-40%. The two markets alone brought 10 million last year out of total 18 million foreign travelers. Meanwhile, travelers with high spending levels accounted for a small proportion. Travelers from European countries accounted for 12%, from the US 5.4%, and Oceania 2.4%. The heavy reliance on certain markets leads to huge losses when troubles like COVID-19 occur. In some localities, the … [Read more...] about Vietnam’s tourism industry loses US$23 billion because of COVID-19
