VIETNAM TOURISM GROWTH MOMENTUM IN THE FIRST 9 MONTHS OF 2026
Vietnam welcomed approximately 17.7 million international visitors in the first 9 months of 2026. In September alone, tourist arrivals reached around 1.77 million, demonstrating that travel demand to Vietnam maintains a positive trajectory. Notably, the Australian market recorded the highest growth rate in visitor volume between August 2025 and August 2026, opening up further opportunities for connectivity and collaboration with one of the most potential international markets.
Along with the growth in visitor arrivals, air connectivity and international events play an increasingly crucial role in elevating destination competitiveness. The expansion of flight routes, infrastructure investments, and the promotion of collaborative ties among tourism entities create favorable conditions for cross-border trade, conferences, and events.
In this landscape, MICE tourism (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) has emerged as a promising growth direction. Beyond contributing to attracting international visitors, this tourism segment drives corporate networking and commercial activities while enhancing value across Vietnam’s tourism ecosystem.
VIETNAM MICE TOURISM FACING OPPORTUNITIES TO ATTRACT INTERNATIONAL EVENTS
The growth of international tourism provides a solid foundation for Vietnam to expand its MICE market. Unlike standard leisure travel, MICE travelers typically travel in groups, follow structured itineraries, and combine multiple needs in a single trip—ranging from meetings, accommodation, and dining to networking and destination exploration.
MICE tourism integrates meetings, conferences, and corporate networking, enhancing value for international travel journeys.
This segment also has the potential to generate multi-sectoral value. An international conference program can trigger demands for meeting rooms, exhibition zones, banquet functions, lodging, transport services, and local experiential activities. Consequently, corporate tourism in Vietnam gains further opportunities to develop integrated products while expanding collaboration networks with overseas organizations, associations, and enterprises.
Alongside natural scenery and service quality, event hosting capability is a vital factor determining the competitiveness of a MICE destination. Businesses are increasingly seeking venues capable of seamlessly delivering conference spaces, technical equipment, professional service, and convenient accommodation systems. The integrated model of a convention center and resort complex has thus become a prominent choice, optimizing event planning and offering seamless experiences for attendees.
