According to data released by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam on December 29, 2021, international tourists traveling to Vietnam in December 2021 increased by 14.2% from the previous month. This is because the Vietnam government has been piloting flight routes to attract more tourists. Besides, the Vietnam government agreed to resume regular international routes (commercial flights) on a trial basis from January 1, 2022.

In November 2021, the first batch of international tourists arrived Vietnam under the pilot project. International tourists returned to Vietnam after halting flights for a long while as the result of the efforts made by the Vietnamese tourism industry. By the end of December 2021, it is estimated that there were 3,000-3,500 international tourists entering Vietnam.
