Accordingly, by 2030, Vietnam sets a target to make tourism a spearhead and sustainable economic sector and become 1 of 30 countries in the world, meeting sustainable development goals.

Vietnam strives to welcome at least 50 million foreigners and serve 160 million domestic tourists with an average growth rate of 8-10% of international tourists and 5-6%/ year of domestic tourists.
