Australia emerges as promising market for Vietnamese tourism industry
VOV.VN - Australia represents both a potential and promising market for the Vietnamese tourism industry, said Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ho An Phong at a recent seminar in Hanoi.
He added that the number of Australian visitors to the nation during the first two months of the year reached nearly 97,500, equaling to 25% of the figure for the entirety of 2023.
Darrell Wade, president of Intrepid Travel, emphasized that the country has rapidly emerged as a very popular destination among Australian visitors due to offering a wide range of diversified experiences.
He noted that the company has initially focused on adventure tourism in Vietnam and has further plans to provide additional cultural and culinary tours moving forward.
Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Andrew Goledzinowski, said there remains ample room for further tourism co-operation between Vietnam and Australia, especially after the two countries recently moved to upgrade their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership along with the launch of multiple direct flights.
Furthermore, there are growing numbers of Vietnamese students studying in Australia, with their families paying regular visits.
People-to-people exchanges between the two countries have become increasingly strengthened, he noted.
