The VNAT said on July 5 that in 2017, it distributed 27,000 feedback forms to
foreigners at 12 international bordergates nationwide, including four airports,
four land border gates, and four seaports.
Results showed that up to 93.46 percent of the respondents were satisfied and
very satisfied with their trips in Vietnam. Only 0.63 percent of them recorded
any dissatisfaction.
More than 92.5 percent of tourists stayed overnight in Vietnam at tourism
accommodations, and 7.4 percent visited the country within one day. Over 60
percent of the visitors organised tours by themselves.
Meanwhile, each foreign visitor staying at tourism accommodations spent an

European visitors 1,295.3 USD, vistors from Oceania 1,791.1 USD, and those from

million foreigners visited Vietnam in the first six months of 2018, up 27.2
