Given stable political-economic conditions, and good recovery of tourism and related industries, the Vietnamese southern hub expects to welcome a tourist influx from South Korea, Japan, India, and China.
As of October, the city had welcomed more than 4 million foreign visitors, accounting for 82% of the plan for this year. As the peak season for international approaches, it hopes to serve 5 million international tourists for the whole 2023.
HCM will organize its third Tourism Week early next month featuring an array of new products, including the Nha Be night tour, healthcare and wellness tourism.
Besides, more lenient visa regulations and extended stays for foreigners are expected to bring more international tourists to the city in the peak season.
