Viet Nam has emerged as a tourism powerhouse for Australian travelers in 2025, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics reporting a remarkable 54% surge in visitor numbers during the first quarter compared to the same period in 2019.
An estimated 276,000 Australians visited Viet Nam in the first six months of 2025, positioning the Southeast Asian nation as the eighth most popular international destination for Australian tourists.
Travel booking platform Klook recorded a striking 250% increase in hotel reservations between March and June 2025 compared to the same months in 2024, reflecting unprecedented demand among Australian users.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade previously valued Australia's recreational travel to Viet Nam at A$1.2 billion in 2019, when more than 317,000 Australians visited the country.
This dramatic growth is driven by Viet Nam's compelling combination of affordability, diverse cultural experiences, and authentic adventures that appeal to Australian travelers seeking value and authenticity in their Asian destinations.
