Vietnam ranked seventh among countries with the highest growth of international visitors worldwide in 2019, announced the United Nation World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO).
In 2019, Vietnam welcomed over 18 million international tourist arrivals, a year-on-year increase of 16.2%.

According to the latest UNWTO’s statistics, the number of global international tourists reached 1.5 billion in 2019, up 3.8% over the previous year.
