Vietnam has become a top travel destination for Australians, with a significant increase in tourist numbers in recent years. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, visits to Vietnam rose by 30% in 2025 compared to the previous year, driven by affordable prices and direct flights from major cities like Sydney and Melbourne.
Travel experts attribute the trend to Vietnam's diverse offerings, from bustling cities like Ho Chi Minh City to natural wonders like Ha Long Bay. The country's favorable exchange rate also makes it a budget-friendly option for Australian travelers.
While specific quotes from Georgia Quinn could not be independently verified, the overall trend is supported by data from Tourism Australia and Vietnam's tourism board, which reported over 500,000 Australian arrivals in 2025.
