Russia is now Vietnam's third-largest source of foreign tourists.

The association thinks Vietnam will receive over one million Russian visitors this year. This is a 50% increase from 2019.

Vietnam is now more popular than Thailand and China for Russian tourists.

More flights to Vietnam have helped this growth.

Vietnam's appeal is a key factor in its popularity.

A Russian travel blogger said Vietnam is cheaper than Türkiye and more colourful than Thailand.

There are five main reasons why Russians like Vietnam: easy visas, low costs, many hotels, safety, and local experiences.

Russian travelers have limited options due to high costs and complicated flights to other destinations.

Many Russians are now choosing Asian beach locations.

Russian travel companies are changing how they operate in Vietnam.

In the past, charter programs focused on winter holidays to Phu Quoc Island.

Now, airlines and tour operators offer seasonal programs to Da Nang and Nha Trang during the summer.

This change is due to strong cooperation between Russian travel companies and local authorities in Vietnam.

Khanh Hoa Province vice chairman met with Inna Tour to coordinate flight schedules.

Travel operators are increasing summer flights to Da Nang and preparing to launch direct services to Phu Quoc this autumn.
