As Vietnam moves into 2026, the tourism sector is entering a new phase of growth shaped by global travel trends, sustainability demands, and rapid digital transformation. With worldwide interest rising and domestic Vietnam Travel activity expanding, the country is on track to strengthen its position as one of Asia’s most attractive and dynamic destinations.

1. Sustainable Travel Becomes the Core Focus

In 2026, sustainability is no longer a niche preference - it becomes a defining standard for international and domestic travelers. Vietnam’s natural wonders such as Ninh Binh, Quang Nam, Ha Giang, and Phu Quoc gain attention for their commitment to conservation and eco-friendly tourism.

Government policies supporting the Net Zero 2050 target drive new initiatives: reducing plastic waste in hotels, expanding nature-based community tourism, and promoting eco-conscious trekking and exploration. These efforts reinforce Vietnam’s global image as a green, responsible, and forward-thinking destination.
