Data from the organization reveals that the number of Vietnamese tourists to Korea surpassed 386,000 by the end of November, marking the highest figure in Southeast Asia and securing the 5th spot worldwide.
Vietnam also leads Southeast Asia in MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) group visitors, with almost 40,000, doubling compared to the same period in 2022.

The number of Vietnamese visitors to Korea has increased by 140% compared to 2022 and 74% compared to 2019. Projections suggest the total will reach 420,000 by December’s end.
