Ho Chi Minh City’s new master plan for 2025‑50 looks ahead 100 years and puts tourism at the heart of urban growth. Understanding this plan helps residents see how future jobs and daily life may change.

According to the plan, by 2030 the city wants to welcome 20 million international visitors and 67 million domestic tourists, which should generate about VND 700 trillion (US$27.12 billion) in tourism revenue. These numbers show the scale of the expected economic boost.

The master plan says tourism performance will be judged by length of stay, spending, repeat visits and the economic value kept locally, not just by head‑counts. By linking tourism with data, smart transport, cultural industries and AI, the city hopes to create new jobs, strengthen local businesses and raise resident satisfaction.

To make the vision work, the plan calls for a digital destination map, shared data standards and systems that monitor visitor flows. Such tools are meant to let small businesses join the tourism network and improve everyday services for citizens.

In short, the 100‑year master plan integrates tourism into every growth hub and satellite centre, aiming for more visitors, higher spending and better jobs while using technology to support local entrepreneurs. Residents can expect a city that balances tourism growth with improved quality of life.
