Statistics show that Vietnam hosted 172,000 foreigner tourists in May, up by 12.8 times year on year and more than 50,000 visitors compared to April.

By country, the RoK has so far sent the highest number of visitors to Vietnam this year. As of the end of April, 28,600 Koreans visited Vietnam for tourism purposes, up 195 percent over the same period last year. Americans came second with 23,100 arrivals during the same period, followed by Chinese and Japanese./.
