According to the report, there are four types of tourist groups, each with specific characteristics in their motivations, priorities, and behaviors towards tourism.

Vietnamese tourists show a preference for sightseeing and family vacations. 53% of Vietnamese tourists prefer natural scenery, 52% want to have more trips to spend quality time with family, and 40% want to travel more cautiously.

Vietnamese tourists have a high interest in sustainable tourism

Vietnam is the only market in the Asia-Pacific region that belongs to the Mindful Voyagers group – a group that approaches tourism with caution, environmental responsibility, and a desire to support local communities. In other words, Vietnamese tourists have the highest interest in sustainable tourism in the Asia-Pacific region.

Most Vietnamese tourists tend to choose to visit beaches and islands (61%), big cities (60%), or engage in physical activities and sports (45%) during their trips.

The report states that for most travelers, financial status is the biggest concern, along with health, medical risks, and other travel disruptions. On the other hand, the report also shows that in order to save travel costs, 44% of travelers choose to go in off-peak months, 43% take advantage of loyalty programs to offset costs, and 28% opt for less expensive means of transportation.
