Frequently asked questions

How attractive is Viet Nam as a destination for visitors from Japan?

Vietnam presents a compelling option for Japanese travelers, featuring rich landscapes and a vibrant culture. Although the country is in a recovery phase with lower foreign tourist arrivals, its tourism infrastructure indicates significant potential. With around 500,000 Japanese traveling abroad annually, there is a notable opportunity to attract a portion of these visitors to Vietnam.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Viet Nam for tourists coming from Japan?

Vietnam is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from Japan. According to the Global Peace Index, Vietnam ranks 41st out of 160 countries, which indicates a relatively safe environment, although it is not as safe as Japan, which ranks 17th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Vietnam is 1.5 per 100,000 people, compared to Japan's very low rate of 0.2. While organized crime exists in both countries, Vietnam has higher indices in several categories, such as crime networks and state crime, suggesting some challenges in these areas. However, Vietnam's overall safety for tourists remains favorable, and many visitors enjoy their stay without incident. Travelers are advised to remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions, as they would in any foreign country.
