In the first nine months of 2022, of the nearly 1.9 million international visitors, some 500,000 are Koreans thanks to the resumption of air services between the two countries.

The Vietnamese minister also expected South Korea to introduce soccer, martial arts and archery coaches to Vietnam.

For his part, South Korean Minister Park Bo-gyoon said that many Korean citizens want to travel to Vietnam. “I have been to Vietnam many times and am very impressed with your country and people, especially Ha Long Bay,” he said.

Minister Park Bo-gyoon affirmed that South Korea and Vietnam have many similarities in culture, sports and tourism, and believes that cooperation between the two countries will achieve more successes in the future.

 The Vietnam Tourism and Culture Festival 2022 was part of the two large-scale festivals held annually abroad by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to promote Vietnam’s country, people and tourism. 

Vietnam is currently developing a Strategy for Cultural Industries Development to 2030, with a vision to 2045.
