According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), Vietnam is one of the countries with the strongest growth in international tourist arrivals year-on-year at 29.1%. In September this year, Vietnam was honored as “Asia’s Leading Destination” at the 25th World Travel Awards. The number of tourists to Vietnam in the first 6 months of 2018 increased by 27.2% year-on-year to 7.9 million. On July 1, 2018, the Vietnamese government exempted visas for three years for visitors from the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy until June 2021.

AccorHotels is the largest international hotel operator in Vietnam with 6,101 rooms across multiple brands. The group will open 13 more hotels across the country in the next two years, bringing its total portfolio to 41.
