The National Tourism Year is intended to represent more than a symbolic expansion of geographic space following administrative consolidation in Gia Lai Province.
During the 2021-2025 period, the tourism sector recorded impressive growth, contributing 6-8% of GDP each year and emerging as a bright spot in Viet Nam’s socio-economic picture. Over the past five years, Viet Nam welcomed nearly 55 million international visitors and served almost 500 million domestic tourists, with total revenue estimated at 3.2 quadrillion VND (121.6 billion USD).
A Viet Nam–Japan friendship concert was held at Pham Thi Tran Theatre in Ninh Binh Province on the evening of January 23, jointly organised by the Ninh Binh Provincial Department of Culture and Sports and artists from Saiki City, Oita Prefecture, Japan.
Culture is the soul of the nation, a red thread running through history that has shaped Viet Nam’s distinctive identity and generated immense spiritual strength.
In the days leading up to Tết (Lunar New Year of Bính Ngọ 2026), Tây Ninh is gradually taking on a fresh look amid a sense of urgency and excitement, from urban beautification works to preparations for festive events.
