Many ASEAN tourists come to Vietnam by road

Nhan Dan/VNA- The number of tourists from AEAN countries to Vietnam since the beginning of the year has increased 21%, totalling  473,000 out of 2.6 million of international guests to Vietnam.

Of which, the number of tourists from regional countries sees a sharp increase such as Singapore (27,5%), Thailand ( 41,6%), Malaysia (21,6% ) and the Philippines (55%).

According to the Vietnam Administration of Tourism, a more favourable road transport system linking Laos and Cambodia is attributable to the success.

In addition, Vietnam is now strengthening the caravan tourism. Not only welcoming international carnivals, the sector is exploiting tours to countries sharing border such as Laos and Cambodia.
