On the morning of September 4th, the Department of Tourism announced statistics on visitor arrivals to Hue in the first eight months of 2025. Notably, France topped the international tourist market to Hue with nearly 64.200 tourists during the period, accounting for 13,5% of the city’s international tourist arrivals.

Market analysis plays an important role in the work of tourism development. The results released from the analysis help the tourism sector and the businesses working in this field develop appropriate strategies, and create tourism products and services that closely match the market demand. This is an urgent requirement if Hue tourism wants to expand its market and reach effective tourist attractions.

Golf tourism is increasingly becoming a driving force behind high-quality travel, attracting tourists who are willing to spend, including those from international markets. Hue has shown interest in developing this form of tourism, yet much work remains to be done to achieve greater effectiveness.

Although young tourists do not spend a great deal, this is a growing segment that brings vibrancy and strong influence across social media platforms. Studying and effectively tapping into the young tourist market is essential for creating greater value in tourism development.

In addition to other potential markets, the tourism sector of the ancient capital is intensifying efforts in promotion, branding, and positioning Hue in European countries. Through a variety of unique programs and activities, Hue’s tourism industry hopes to see strong growth in visitor numbers from this key market in the near future.

Besides the international tourist market, the domestic tourist market is considered a solid foundation for a bright “picture” of Vietnamese tourism in general, and Hue City in particular. Capturing the trends and preferences of visitors presents an opportunity to leverage the domestic market.

On the afternoon of May 30th, the Department of Tourism held a seminar on promoting Hue tourism in the South Korean market and signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation with the Korea Association of Travel Agents (KATA).
