Thua Thien-Hue welcomes 1.5 million tourists in first half

A piece of good news is that in the first 9 months of 2025, Hue welcomed nearly 5 million of tourist arrivals, exceeding the 4.8 million tourist arrivals recorded in 2019. It contributed to creating a strong recovery after a period of stagnation, clearly highlighting the city’s role as the host of 2025 National Tourism Year.

According to statistics, the number of visitors to Hue in the first 9 months reached nearly 5 million arrivals, witnessing an increase of nearly 63% compared to the same period. This is truly good news for Hue as the city hosts the National Tourism Year for the second time.

Without noise and haste, the journey invites travelers to lose themselves in the timeless, contemplative, and poetic beauty of Hue along the Huong River. In recent years, this experience has been reimaged with touches of elegance: afternoon tea at sunset, dinner under the stars, and the lingering notes of traditional Hue Singings.

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution’s Victory (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025), and National Day (September 2), Hue Monuments Conservation Center will offer ticket exemption for Vietnamese citizens for 2 days, including August 19 and September 2.

On the morning of August 15, the Institute for Research and Development of Hue City coordinated with Grab Vietnam LLC held a ceremony to launch the Grab Cyclo service.
