Abstract

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism was one of the important economic sectors, contributing 10.4% to the global GDP, equivalent to 9.2 trillion USD, creating 333 million jobs, equivalent to 10, 6% of all jobs in the world. However, tourism is one of the industries hardest hit by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, the industry’s contribution to global GDP was only 5.3%. After two years of freezing due to the Covid 19 pandemic, Vietnam has officially opened to international tourism from March 15, 2022 – the earliest compared to other countries in the region. Although it has fully opened, removing all barriers compared to before the epidemic, international tourists are still not interested in coming to Vietnam. By the end of the year, statistics show that Vietnam recovered the slowest international tourism. The reasons are many, but the main reason is still the visa policy. This study aims to systematically evaluate Vietnam’s tourist visa policy, compared it with other countries in Southeast Asia, and proposed visa solutions to attract more international tourists to Vietnam.
