 The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism said over 25,000 Russian tourists have visited the country this year, 65 percent higher than last year’s same period
It said Russia had become one of the 15 major tourism markets for Vietnam.Several major tourism companies, like Saigontourist and Ben Thanh Tourist, said though arrivals from Russia did not match some other countries like China, the US, Japan, or South Korea, the number was rising steadily. According to a recent survey by the General Department of Statistics, a Russian tourist in Vietnam spends US$1,458 on average, including $610 on recreation and shopping, which is 40 percent higher compared to a typical international tourist. The survey also found that Russian tourists prefer beaches and modern convalescence resorts along the central coast. Russian tourist agencies said many people traveled to Vietnam thanks to the historic relationship between the two countries, Vietnam’s security situation, beautiful landscapes, and hospitality. To attract more Russian visitors, VNAT and some travel firms are attending more tourism festivals in Moscow and working on the nation’s tourism image and developing more interesting tours.
