Family Trips to Shape Vietnam’s Travel Trends in 2025
Emerging research from tourism management agencies reveals that family-oriented travel and relaxation are set to dominate Vietnam’s tourism trends in 2025, alongside a growing reliance on digital travel technologies.
A Focus on Family Vacations and Relaxation
According to Agoda’s 2025 Travel Trends Survey, Vietnamese holidaymakers are prioritizing family vacations as opportunities to bond and escape daily routines. Approximately 39% of surveyed Vietnamese travelers have expressed plans for family trips, with destinations like theme parks becoming increasingly popular.
While family trips take the lead, solo adventures and couple getaways remain strong contenders. Many travelers cite the need to unwind and temporarily disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life as their key motivator. Additionally, the rise of workations—blending work and leisure—reflects the growing adoption of flexible work policies.

Travel Inspiration and the Role of Technology
The motivations driving Vietnamese travelers include personal interests, budgets, and recommendations from friends and family. Digital platforms and social media continue to play a crucial role in travel planning. Mobile apps are now a go-to tool for organizing family trips, while social media influences decision-making by showcasing must-visit destinations and experiences.
Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Tourism has reported a significant digital shift, with online bookings rising by 33% in 2024 compared to the previous year. Cashless payment methods have also seen widespread adoption, with usage reaching 91.14% in 2024. This digital transformation not only streamlines the travel experience but also contributes to the tourism industry’s growth.
Ho Chi Minh City’s Tourism Boom
In 2024, Ho Chi Minh City welcomed 6 million international arrivals and 38 million domestic tourists, marking year-over-year growth of 20% and 8.6%, respectively. Tourism revenue hit nearly 190 trillion VND (around 7.5 billion USD), reflecting the sector’s robust recovery.
Nguyen Van Dung, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee, emphasized the city’s commitment to advancing digital transformation in tourism. Future efforts will focus on enhancing product quality, diversifying offerings, and strengthening regional collaborations to meet emerging trends.
