After receiving an encouraging growth over the past five years, Vietnam is making its presence felt in the Indian tourism industry by conducting roadshows all over India.
Vietnam received 65,606 Indian tourists in 2015 and registered a growth of 27.27 per cent over 2014, shared H.E. Ton Sinh Thanh, Ambassador of Vietnam to India, Nepal & Bhutan, at the country's tourism promotion roadshow held in New Delhi.
"We are hoping for a similar increase, if not more, for this year," he said. "Vietnam has all kinds of services to satisfy the needs of tourists, whether for holidays, shopping, leisure, cuisine, wedding, honeymoon, or MICE. The only area we currently lack is direct connectivity from India, but once that is sorted, we expect a large influx of Indian tourists."
