Number of international visitor arrivals in Vietnam 2016-2021
In 2021, the total number of international visitor arrivals to Vietnam reached approximately 0.16 million. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam welcomed 18 million international arrivals in 2019, a record number for the country, following healthy year-on-year growth in visitor numbers since 2016. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related travel restrictions, Vietnam experienced a sharp decrease in visitor arrivals from abroad in 2020 and 2021. As of March 2022, the country has removed its travel restrictions, hoping to assist the recovery of the tourism sector.
