Vietnam is experiencing a strong influx of tourists from India. According to the Vietnam National Tourism Administration, Vietnam welcomed 392,000 Indian visitors in 2023, a 231% increase compared to 2019. In the first six months of this year, Vietnam received over 231,000 visitors from this market, a 164% increase compared to the same period last year. Notably, there is also a significant increase in the number of wealthy Indian tourists visiting Vietnam.
The trend of wealthy Indian tourists visiting Vietnam has been increasing sharply recently.
Based on the above figures, it can be seen that India is currently one of Vietnam's top 10 international tourist markets. Its relatively short distance and numerous direct flights, with flight times of only 4-5 hours, are favorable factors attracting an increasing number of tourists to Vietnam. The visit of the large delegation from Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited is not only an opportunity to promote Vietnamese tourism but also affirms our country's position in the eyes of international tourists.
