The growth of the tourism industry was attributed to the increase of domestic arrivals to the city with the rise of up to 30% compared to October.

Revenue from domestic and inbound tourism in the city was VND1.7 trillion (US$73.8 million) in November, up 40.9% month-on-month, but down 80.6% compared to the same period last year.

The city welcomed an estimated 7.99 million visitors in the January-November period, down 69.1% over the same period of 2019. Of the amount, international arrivals were estimated at 1.07 million while the number of domestic tourists totaled 6.91 million. Revenue from tourism was VND26.6 trillion (US$1.15 billion). 

The average hotel occupancy rate was estimated at 29.1%, down 40.5% over the same period in 2019.
