A record number of Russian tourists will visit Vietnam in 2024

Quick Look

Director of the Department of Multilateral Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Nikita Kondratyev said at the Eastern Economic Forum that the number of Russian tourists visiting Vietnam in 2024 will be a record 1.5 million people thanks to direct flights and the possibility of paying with a MIR card and QR codes.

Why It Matters

Previously, the flow of Russian tourists to Vietnam amounted to 700-800 thousand people per year (2018-2019). The growth is due to the restoration of air traffic and the expansion of payment options.

VLADIVOSTOK, September 5 - RIA Novosti. The number of Russian tourists who will visit Vietnam this year is likely to reach a record 1.5 million people, Nikita Kondratyev, director of the department of multilateral economic cooperation and special projects of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, told RIA Novosti at the Eastern Economic Forum.

“Vietnam: this year, most likely, we will reach the figure of one and a half million of our people. This is a record in history. This has never happened. Even if we take 2018-2019, the flow was in the region of 700-800 thousand. And this year it will most likely be 1.5 million,” Kondratiev said.

He noted that such indicators will be, among other things, due to the availability of direct flights, as well as the ability to pay in the country with QR codes and the MIR card, which is accepted in some places.

At the same time, this year a large flow of tourists went to Vietnam, who could theoretically go to Thailand, Kondratyev noted.

Open Questions

  • ?What measures are planned to further increase tourist flow?
  • ?How will the growth of tourist flow affect the infrastructure of Vietnam?
  • ?Will there be additional restrictions or fees for tourists?
