According
to the Vietnam National Tourism Administration, the number of foreign
visitors to the country touched 460,000 in September, a 62 percent
increase year-on-year.

In
the first nine months of this year, Vietnam recorded more than 4.85
million foreign visitors, up by 23 percent compared to the same period
last year.
Of these, Ho Chi Minh City received about 2.72 million
visitors from abroad, accounting to 56 percent of the total number of
foreign visitors to the country in the first nine months.
Although
this was not peak tourist season, the number of foreign visitors still
increased, thanks to the International Travel Expo which took place from
September 13-15 in HCMC.
