Vietnam’s tourism sector is in full swing as travel agencies gear up for the bustling 2025 Lunar New Year season, unveiling tours and preparing to cater to a surge of international and domestic visitors. Online travel platform Agoda reported a 139% surge in international tourists' searches for Tet accommodation compared to the same period in 2024, with Chinese visitors leading the growth, nearly tripling their number. This trend supports Vietnam’s ambitious target of welcoming 22 million foreign arrivals this year. The Lunar New Year festival, locally called Tet, is the country’s largest traditional celebration. This year’ break for the event will last from January 25 (the 26th day of the last month of the Year of the Dragon) to February 2 (the fifth day of the Year of the Snake). VNA Photo: Mỹ Phương
