Vietnam has kicked off the new tourism year by shattering records. According to the national tourism authority, VNAT, almost 2.5 million international visitors arrived in January – the highest number ever recorded in a single month and an 18.5 per cent jump over the previous year.

While these figures represent an economic triumph, they also highlight a shifting geopolitical map.

Travellers are increasingly bypassing the smouldering border disputes between Thailand and Cambodia in favour of the relative stability found in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. However, this new-found “stability” brings its own set of growing pains.

This surge is being driven by a diversifying demographic.

While most visitors still hail from within Asia, European arrivals are climbing significantly. VNAT credits this boom to eased visa rules – such as the 45-day visa-free stay for German citizens – alongside a rise in direct international flights and Vietnam’s growing reputation as a premier long-haul winter escape.

Tại đây, hàng trăm người đang nêm kín cửa hàng rộng hàng trăm mét vuông để chọn lựa các mặt hàng. Khách các đoàn phải đeo thẻ xanh, vàng khác nhau và có số thứ tự để kiểm soát, phân biệt.

Khách lẻ, người Việt bị hạn chế vào khu vực buôn bán này. Tiếp tục đọc “Du khách Trung Quốc tăng, lợi nhuận vẫn ‘bèo’” →
