India Emerges as Vietnam’s Fastest-Growing Market With Over 552,000 Visitors

India has become one of Vietnam’s most transformative inbound segments, delivering over 552,000 arrivals and showing one of the fastest rebound rates in Asia. The surge is driven by improved flight accessibility, rising interest in Southeast Asian destinations, and Vietnam’s growing appeal for MICE groups, destination weddings, and family holidays.

Indian travelers are increasingly selecting Vietnam as an alternative to established regional destinations, attracted by its affordability, pristine beaches, rich heritage, and vibrant nightlife. As demand grows, Vietnamese hotels and tourism suppliers are investing in multi-cultural dining options, Halal-certified kitchens, and large-capacity venues tailored to Indian travelers’ needs.

Growth in this segment aligns with Vietnam’s broader ambition to diversify source markets. Cities such as Phu Quoc, Danang, Nha Trang, and Ha Long are benefiting from rising Indian traffic, especially in large-group bookings. Boutique hotels and upscale resorts are also responding by offering customizable banquet packages and premium services for wedding parties.

Forecasts indicate that India will remain a priority growth market for Vietnam through 2026, supported by new airline partnerships and increasing outbound travel demand among Indian millennials and Gen Z. Vietnam’s hospitality sector is poised to continue expanding its capacity to support this high-potential segment.
