Vietnam Expands Its Global Air Network
Vietnam’s aviation industry is entering a strong growth phase as airlines introduce new direct routes connecting major cities in India, Europe, and Australia with the country’s primary travel hubs. In 2025, Vietnam’s aviation sector handled about 83.5 million passengers, an increase of 10.7% compared with the previous year, reflecting strong recovery and expansion in international air travel.
Airports in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and other key destinations are becoming increasingly important gateways for travelers exploring Southeast Asia. With growing global interest in Vietnam’s culture, cuisine, beaches, and heritage sites, expanded air connectivity is playing a crucial role in supporting tourism growth. In fact, Vietnam recorded more than 19 million international visitors in the first eleven months of 2025, up 20.9% year-on-year, highlighting the importance of improved air connectivity in attracting global travelers.

Stronger Air Links with India
India is currently one of the fastest-growing outbound travel markets for Vietnam. The number of Indian visitors increased from about 392,000 in 2023 to more than 501,000 in 2024, nearly three times the pre-pandemic level recorded in 2019. In the first seven months of 2025, Vietnam welcomed over 387,000 Indian tourists, representing a 42.5% year-on-year increase, highlighting the strong growth of this market. Airlines are expanding their flight networks to meet the rising demand from Indian travelers seeking new cultural and culinary experiences.

Several new routes now connect major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. These direct flights significantly improve accessibility by reducing travel time and eliminating the need for multiple transit stops.

Expanding Long-Haul Connections from Europe
Europe continues to be a vital long-haul market for Vietnam’s tourism industry. In 2024, Vietnam welcomed around 1.4 million visitors from Europe, accounting for a significant share of long-haul international arrivals. The introduction of additional direct routes between European capitals and Vietnam’s main airports is expected to further stimulate both leisure and business travel.

New connections are helping reduce total travel time while improving travel convenience for European tourists, who typically prefer longer stays and higher-value travel experiences. Vietnam’s combination of heritage destinations, nature-based tourism, and gastronomy makes it especially attractive to travelers from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavian countries.
Improved air connectivity also supports stronger business ties between Vietnam and European markets. In 2023, total trade between Vietnam and the European Union exceeded USD 68 billion, highlighting the growing economic relationship that further encourages business travel, investment, and cultural exchange.
Australia: A Growing Market for Vietnam Travel
Australia remains one of Vietnam’s most important long-haul tourism markets. In 2024, Vietnam welcomed more than 490,000 visitors from Australia, making Australia one of the country’s largest long-haul source markets. Travel demand between the two countries has increased steadily in recent years, driven by Vietnam’s reputation as an affordable yet diverse travel destination.

(These sources report about 490,000–490,880 Australian visitors to Vietnam in 2024.)
Direct flights connecting Sydney, Melbourne, and other major Australian cities with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are helping to strengthen tourism flows. These routes are particularly important for leisure travelers, expatriate communities, and business visitors. In addition, the Vietnam–Australia air travel market has recorded strong post-pandemic recovery, with visitor numbers continuing to rise compared with pre-pandemic levels.
With Vietnam offering a unique combination of beaches, vibrant cities, and authentic culinary experiences, Australian travelers are increasingly choosing Vietnam as a top destination in Southeast Asia. Tourism reports also highlight that Australian visitors are attracted by Vietnam’s culture, landscapes, cuisine, and relatively affordable travel costs.

What Travel Agents Should Know
The expansion of direct flights reflects several key travel trends shaping Vietnam’s tourism market. In 2024, Vietnam welcomed approximately 17.6 million international visitors, a significant increase compared with 12.6 million in 2023, highlighting the rapid recovery and growth of inbound tourism.
Indian travelers increasingly seek immersive cultural experiences, local cuisine tours, and luxury resort stays. This trend is supported by strong market growth, with more than 501,000 Indian visitors traveling to Vietnam in 2024, making India one of the fastest-growing outbound markets.
European visitors generally prefer longer itineraries focused on heritage, nature, and slow travel experiences such as cruises and countryside exploration. Long-haul travelers from Europe typically stay between 12 and 18 days in Vietnam, significantly longer than many regional markets.
Australian tourists are drawn to Vietnam for its affordability, vibrant food culture, and diverse landscapes. In 2024, Vietnam welcomed around 490,000–491,000 visitors from Australia, making it one of the country’s key long-haul tourism markets.
