Vietnam has won recognition as one of the top ten destinations by the Japanese government and Japanese tourism companies. This is a big step forward for Vietnam’s tourism industry. With this recognition, from now to April 2009, Vietnam is expected to receive even larger numbers of Japanese tourists.

In the first nine months this year, the total number of foreign tourists to Vietnam reached 3.3 million, an increase of 6 percent year on year.
