Vietnam welcomed 53,273 visitors from Oceania and 4,874 from Africa in July 2025, according to the latest data from Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.
This brought total arrivals from Oceania to 357,517 and from Africa to 30,064 over the first seven months of the year.
Australia was the dominant source in Oceania, contributing 47,701 visitors in July and 323,666 year-to-date.
New Zealand added 5,409 visitors in July and 32,899 over the seven-month period. Smaller markets in the region, including Pacific islands, accounted for 163 arrivals in July.
Growth rates were robust across both regions. Oceania rose 125.7 percent year-on-year in July, while Africa increased 125.4 percent.
On a year-to-date basis, arrivals from Oceania were up 115.7 percent and from Africa 103.1 percent compared with the same period in 2024.
While visitor numbers from Africa remain small, the consistent growth highlights new demand segments.
Oceania, driven largely by Australian travellers, continues to be a reliable long-haul market for Vietnam, supported by flight connectivity and strong bilateral ties.
