According to the Tourism Advisory Board and the Private Economic Development Research Board, the tourism sector sets to receive 17-18 million foreign tourists and 82 million domestic visitors by 2020, but the targets is being hindered due to the underdevelopment of the local civil aviation sector.
Meanwhile, the International Air Transport Association estimated that between now and 2020, Vietnam’s passenger transportation is expected to rise by 16% annually, and from 2020 to 2030, by 8%. Cargo transportation will increase by around 18% until 2020, and 12%between 2020 and 2030. The growth will make Vietnam become the world's fifth fastest-growing aviation market by 2035.
A recent World Tourism & Travel Council also report showed the tourism industry's contribution to Vietnam's gross domestic product will increase by nearly 90% to US$34.6 billion in 2027 from the US$18.4 billion recorded last year.
