Tourism revenue hits 12.9 trillion VND over 4 months
VTV.vn - Vietnam's tourism revenue for the first four months of the year was estimated at 12.9 trillion VND (roughly 563 million USD), up 26.1% against the same period last year, according to the General Statistics Office.

The GSO said HCM City and Hanoi saw respective increases of 30.4% and 18.8% in tourism revenue over the reviewed period. A driving factor behind the growth was the 29.5% increase in the number of foreign arrivals to Vietnam compared to last year's corresponding period.

Meanwhile, revenues from hotel accommodation, food, and beverages were estimated at VND172 trillion, accounting for 12.3% of the sector's total revenue representing a rise of 9.4% against the same period last year. 

 This year, the tourism industry has set itself the target of welcoming 15-17 million foreign arrivals to bring in an estimated revenue of VND620 trillion.
