\nAs you know, diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the US were established years ago, and this cooperative relationship has been constantly growing strong, not only in trade but also expanding into other fields such as tourism and culture.

\nVietnam has always been an attractive destination for American tourists with its many natural landscapes, friendly people, and rich culture and history.

\nSpeaking specifically about the tourist market from Vietnam, the number of tourists from Vietnam to the US in the first half of the year exceeded the same period last year by more than 10%, and surpassed pre-pandemic levels by over 25%.

\nHowever, according to our survey, most visitors come to the US through tour packages provided by travel agencies. The itinerary mainly focuses on famous sightseeing spots and major cities.

\nWe believe that in other regions of the US, there is still a lot of unknown tourism potential. And this is also an opportunity for Vietnamese travel agencies to exploit and develop new products.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
