Executive summary

Increasing contribution to overall economic growth

The travel and tourism industry in Vietnam has developed for almost ten years with a remarkable growth rate. Thanks to this, its share in the country’s GDP has been increasing, which has supported dynamic development of the service sector. Additionally, the industry has attracted an increasing inflow of foreign currencies, created more jobs, developed tourism-related industries and partly restored Vietnamese traditional crafts.

Arrivals slow due to drop in Chinese visitors

Although the Vietnamese government has given free visa entry for citizens of all ASEAN member countries, the number of international arrivals coming to Vietnam in 2006 saw sluggish growth compared to 2005. The predominant reason was a significant decrease in the number of Chinese tourists, Vietnam’s main source market, due to changes in Chinese government regulations.

MICE tourists, tourism investment increase thanks to two important events

Organising APEC meetings and becoming an official member of the World Trade Organisation were two important factors impacting MICE tourism for Vietnam in 2006. Thanks to these, Vietnam will provide a more open business environment for investors from all countries. The immediate impact was a huge rise in MICE tourists and flow of investment from both foreign and domestic investors.

Huge rise in outbound and domestic travelling

Thanks to increasing income, promoted tour prices and more days off in 2006, the number of outbound and domestic trips increased significantly. The most popular destinations for outbound tours are China, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.

Supply shortage of high- rating hotels

The shortage of hotel supply became more serious in 2006 when Vietnam had to reserve luxury hotels for APEC leaders. There are not enough hotels, especially high-rating hotels, for international tourists. Currently the government is encouraging investment in luxury hotels, resorts and complexes. Major hotel and resort owners and managers are building more 5-star hotels or upgrading existing establishments to 5-star.

Vietnamese first low cost carrier, air tickets sold online

At the beginning of 2007, Pacific Airlines has become the first LCC in Vietnam. Simultaneously, Vietnam Airlines and Pacific Airlines started to sell e- tickets since the beginning of 2007, replacing existing paper ones.

Saigon Tourist Holding Company leader in the industry

The state- owned Saigon Tourist Holding Company dominates most sectors in the Vietnamese travel and tourism industry, including travel accommodation, car rental and travel retail service. The company is set to expand its existing sectors to gain more market shares and to enter other areas of activity.
