Viet Nam expects over 7 million visitors in 2013

Viet Nam's tourism sector has set a target of 7.2 million foreign visitors for this year, and expects to serve 35 million domestic tourists – increases of 5.15 per cent and 7.69 per cent respectively over last year.

The sector anticipates tourism will generate VND190 trillion (US$9 billion) this year, up 18.75 per cent from last year.

According to deputy director of the Viet Nam National Administration of Tourism Nguyen Manh Cuong, if the targets were reached, Viet Nam would be two years ahead of its previously set schedule.
