Towering limestone pillars and tiny islets topped by forest rise from the emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin,designated a World Heritage Site in 1994, Halong Bay's scatter of islands, dotted with wind- and wave-eroded grottoes, is a vision of ethereal beauty and, unsurprisingly, northern Vietnam's number one-tourism hub, Lonely Planet describes.

Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) in collaboration with Vietnam Tourism Advisory Board (TAB) have published a travel kit titled “Ở nhà cùng Việt Nam” ...
Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra has recently signed Decision No. 1059/QD-TTg consolidating the National Committee on Persons with Disabilities of Vietnam (the Committee). The restructuring of this inter-sectoral coordinating body is expected to enhance the effectiveness of policy consultation, coordination, and implementation of programs supporting persons with disabilities, thereby safeguarding their rights and promoting social inclusion for more than seven million persons with disabilities nationwide.
Amid the rapid development of the creative economy and digital transformation, cultural industries are increasingly being recognized as a new growth driver for Vietnam. However, for cultural products to truly become economic assets, expand markets, and enhance national competitiveness, copyright and related rights are emerging as a foundational “pillar of support.”
In recent years, Ninh Binh has not only cemented its position on the international tourism map through its magnificent natural landscapes but has also attracted visitors with the vibrant traditional festivals that embody the rich cultural heritage of the ancient capital region.
A newly issued decision, Decision No. 1033/QD-TTg approving the Digital Economy and Digital Society Development Programme for 2026 - 2030, places a strong emphasis on the tourism sector's digital transformation in Vietnam. The program prioritizes the use of digital technologies in the management and operation of tourism businesses, including accommodation providers, travel agencies, restaurants, and tourist attractions. The goal is to enhance operational efficiency while delivering more seamless, personalized, and engaging experiences for travelers.
After a foreign tourist accidentally dropped a cellphone into the river while visiting the Bay Mau Coconut Forest in Hoi An, Da Nang, a 70-year-old basket boat operator immediately jumped into the water to retrieve it.
Practical examples have shown that digital transformation is not merely about technology. It is also driving more convenient travel experiences, higher-quality services, and more attractive destinations.
According to tourism industry statistics, Vietnam welcomed 10.6 million international visitors in the first five months of 2026, up 14.9% year-on-year and the highest figure ever recorded for the same period.
According to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent in France, the weekend edition of Le Parisien recently published an article introducing Vietnam as one of the most worthwhile countries to explore in Asia. Le Parisien considered Vietnam among the most attractive destinations in the world, with majestic natural landscapes, ancient cultural heritage, and amazing cuisine.
Amid the growing trend of combining heritage preservation with the development of cultural and spiritual tourism, Thanh Hoa has emerged as one of Vietnam’s notable destinations thanks to its rich network of temples and shrines associated with the UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the Practices Related to the Beliefs in the Mother Goddesses of Three Realms of the Vietnamese People. Efforts to preserve the essence of this heritage while promoting tourism are opening up new development opportunities for the province.
Indonesia’s Antara News Agency and Tempo newspaper on May 30 published articles on the keynote address delivered by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and State President To Lam at the opening session of the 2026 Shangri-La Dialogue.
