Vietnam to become favourite destination for Australian tourists in 2024

Vietnam was among the top 10 destinations for Australian tourists during the past nine months of the year, according to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

More Australians are choosing destinations in Southeast Asia when traveling abroad, with four destinations featured in the top 10, including Indonesia in first, Thailand in sixth, Vietnam in ninth, and Singapore in 10th.

Bali of Indonesia has maintained its leading position as a favourite destination for Australian tourists for many years.

Furthermore, Australian newspaper the Sydney Morning Herald predicts that Vietnam will continue to be a popular destination for Australians ahead in 2024 as the number of Australian visitors to the nation this year is approximately equal to that before the COVID-19 pandemic.

A report by the Skyscanner platform in early November showed that Ho Chi Minh City ranked among the top 10 most sought-after destinations for Australian tourists, with a growth rate of 246% recorded in the past year. Therefore, Ho Chi Minh City is projected to be one of the top destinations for Australian tourists by 2024.

The report also reveals that airfares and hotel costs are the biggest factors for Australian tourists when deciding on their holiday destination.

According to data released by the Vietnam Administration of National Tourism, the number of Australian visitors to Vietnam after 10 months reached nearly 319,900, equal to about 98% compared to the same period of 2019 when nearly 326,500 arrivals were recorded.
