The country’s domestic tourism market continues to record impressive growth, according to the National Administration of Tourism.

Searches for Vietnam’s tourist attractions on the Internet in July this year increased nearly eight times and three times as compared to the same period last year and the beginning of March this year, respectively, before the country re-opened to tourism.
