Vietnam ranks second in tourism growth rate in region

Vietnam ranks second in Southeast Asia in terms of the tourism growth rate, according to a recent report by the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA).
Accordingly, nations in this region are experiencing a very dynamic growth rate, with Myanmar (27 per cent) in the first position, followed by Vietnam (22 per cent). The remainders are: Cambodia (18 per cent), the Philippines (17 per cent), Singapore (16 per cent), Thailand (12 per cent), and Indonesia (11 per cent).
The number of foreign visitors to Northeast Asia and the Pacific shows less growth than that to Southeast Asia, and it will continue to be affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11th, said PATA.
