Why Vietnam Is Attracting More and More Indian Travelers

In recent years, the number of visitors from India to Vietnam has grown significantly. Beyond the relatively short geographic distance, Vietnam offers many appealing qualities that match the needs and preferences of Indian travelers — from families to adventure-seeking younger visitors.

One of the biggest draws is the country's diverse food scene. Vietnam has plenty of vegetarian options and dishes that don't use beef, which suits a large segment of Indian travelers particularly well. On top of that, Vietnam's natural scenery stretches from north to south, featuring crystal-clear coastlines, terraced rice fields, majestic caves, and UNESCO-recognized ancient towns like Hoi An — a destination that has long won the hearts of international visitors. Central Vietnam, especially Da Nang and Hoi An, frequently tops the itinerary for many Indian tour groups, thanks to the combination of beautiful beaches, rich cultural heritage, and a wide range of accommodations across different price points.

The welcoming attitude of the Vietnamese people is another quality that Indian travelers consistently praise. Many share that they felt genuinely greeted and at ease throughout their trip. For those planning a visit to Central Vietnam, Da Nang serves as a convenient gateway with an international airport offering multiple direct flight connections, while Hoi An is just about 30 minutes away — making it an ideal combined itinerary of beach and ancient town.
