Viet Nam named among world’s 28 most beautiful countries by Condé Nast Traveler

In its article, CN Traveler wrote that cities like Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City draw tons of tourists every year, but Viet Nam is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts (or anyone who simply enjoys a pretty landscape).

Ha Long Bay, located in northeast Viet Nam, is beloved for its blue waters and spread of limestone islands—all occupied by tropical trees and wildlife. In the northeast, Ha Giang has breathtaking mountain scenery criss-crossed with steep rice terraces and hiking trails, the magazine highlighted.

"On the southern coast, Ninh Van Bay has great snorkeling and diving. And you can always hop on a quick flight and spend a few days on Phu Quoc, a jungle-draped island off Viet Nam's southwestern coast", it suggested.

Viet Nam's rise on the global tourism map is not only thanks to its natural beauty, but also reflects the effectiveness of its sustainable development policies and its ability to attract international investment.

The Southeast Asian nation received nearly 4.7 million international visitors in the first two months of 2026, up 18.1 percent year on year, according to the National Statistics Office (NSO) under the Ministry of Finance.

The tourism sector aims to welcome 25 million international visitors and 150 million domestic travelers in 2026 and generate total revenue of VND1.125 quadrillion (US$42.9 billion)./.
