Vietnam aims to turn tourism into a truly spearhead economic sector with green growth and world leading development capacity by 2030. This is part of a master plan on the tourism system for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2045 recently approved by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha. The plan targets 25-28 million international arrivals, 130 million domestic travellers, and an annual growth rate of 8-9% in the number of domestic tourists for 2025. By 2030, the international tourist number is hoped to reach 35 million and post an annual increase of 13-15% while domestic travellers hit 160 million and grow 4-5% annually. Tourism is expected to directly contribute 8-9% and 13- 4% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2025 and 2030, respectively. Source: Vietnam News Agency
