Vietnam has welcomed more than 1.44 million international arrivals in the first eight months of 2022, a 13.7-fold rise from a year earlier, thanks to the reopening to foreign tourists and the resumption of international air routes, data showed. However, the figure still nosedived 87.3% compared to the same period of 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).
