Vietnam among friendliest countries on Earth
Vietnam has ranked ninth out of the ten friendliest
countries in the world, the World
Population Review cited a survey conducted by InterNations.
Experts believe that this rank will become one of the favourable factors for
tourists to choose Vietnam for their post-COVID-19
experience, thus helping the country’s non-smoke industry revive.
New names on the list
The ten friendliest names in the world are Portugal, Taiwan, Mexico, Cambodia,
Bahrain, Costa Rica, Oman, Colombia, Vietnam and Canada.
Some popular travel destinations such as the UK, France, and the US were placed
55th, 55th, and 36th respectively.
The ranks in this survey change dramatically within a few years as many factors
can greatly affect a country’s attitude towards foreign travelers or expats. Four
years ago, the UK was the 19th friendliest country and has now dropped to 56th
place. One Portuguese expat explained that he believes Brexit has something to
do with the decreased friendliness in the country.
The ten friendliest countries have rates from 81 percent to 94 percent for
friendly attitudes towards foreign residents. These are far above the global
average rate of 67 percent. With the exception of Cambodia, all of the top ten
countries ranked in the top 15 countries with the highest overall life abroad
satisfaction.
Why is Vietnam listed in top 10?
What are the friendliest countries in the world? Both expats and travelers
going abroad can feel isolated being in a new country with people who speak a
different language and have a different culture, Worldpopulationreview said.
Going abroad is much easier for those starting a new life and more enjoyable
for those traveling when you’re in a welcoming, friendly country with a
positive outlook on out-of-towners and people of different cultures. Some
countries are more tolerant than others.
While this might seem like a matter of personal experience, InterNations conducted
a survey of over 180 countries to find out which countries are most welcoming
to expats and foreign travelers. The survey measured each country’s friendly
attitude toward expats, ease of making local friends, and expats likely to stay
forever.
A friendly attitude with a positive view on strangers and people of other
cultures has helped Vietnam to reach the top ten. Portugal is reportedly the
friendliest and most welcoming country for expats in the world. According to
the InterNations survey, 94 percent of Portugal locals have a friendly attitude
towards expats with most people said to be friendly and helpful and looking out
for one another.
Approximately 36 percent of expats reported that they feel at home right away
and 47 percent said that they would possibly stay in Portugal forever. Portugal
is also one of the safest countries in the world.
Costa Rica ranks first for expats making local friends, with a 78 percent
rating. Furthermore, 88 percent of respondents felt content with their new life
in Costa Rica and 81 percent feel at home in the new culture, which is why 48
percent of expats report that they intend to stay in Costa Rica forever
(compared to 29 percent globally).
Earlier this year, Vietnam was also ranked the 10th best place in the world for
expats, according to the recently released 2021 Expat Inside Survey by
InterNations.
Regarding the Ease of Settling In index, Vietnam was ranked 25th globally and secured
ninth place for ease in making local friends.
Vietnam’s tourism
sector has been hardest-hit by COVID-19 as the number of
foreign tourists in the first six months of 2021 saw a year-on-year plunge of
97.6 percent with only 88,200. Tourism revenue only reached 4.5 trillion VND
(197.64 million USD), down 51.8 percent.
Some 95 percent of travel companies have to cease operations or switch to other
sectors./.

Viet Nam is always an attractive, safe and friendly destination. Vietnamese people love peace.
Viet Nam is beautiful, safe and friendly. Vietnamese people are hospitable, tourist guide is enthusiasm and considerate. I hope traditional relation between Viet Nam and China is better. I will come back Viet Nam. After this visit, I will introduce Viet Nam to my relatives and friends.
The tourism industry has also proactively implemented thorough solutions on the prevention of the coronavirus spread, especially in tourist destinations and accommodation establishments, strictly following guidance of the health authorities.
Any signs of boycott and discrimination against foreign nationals could be severely punished.
Vietnam in recent years has been evaluated by the UN’s World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as a safe and friendly tourist destination, and this has also been strengthened by many other prestigious travel awards given to the country.
Facing numerous challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam needs to try even harder to reaffirm its reputation that has been built over past few years.
localities need to supervise the compliance of Law on Tourism and relevant laws on tourism service business activities, and the implementation of the code of conduct for tourism issued by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
To date accommodation providers have responded very well to the policy, sharing burdens with the country, despite the initial apprehension and fear of coming in contact with infected people which is may affect their brands.
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) are modern destinations with a warm feel. This is a particularly safe country as well, making it a good choice for solo travelers, according to InterNations.
Vietnam has been ranked No.5 among the world’s friendliest countries in 2020, according to the latest survey conducted by InterNations, a global network for people who live and work abroad. As a particularly safe country, Vietnam is a good choice for solo travelers.
The country now need to not just focus on economy, but also political, diplomatic relations, particularly with nations which are recording sharp reduction in pandemic infections, become a safe and friendly destination of foreign friends. Resuming the old pace of life, professions, fields, service, tourism, local aviation… are great boosts for the recovery of the country’s economy after the pandemic.
Taking full use of the potential and advantages of the locality, particularly in sea tourism, with a series of works being inaugurated and put into operation in the recent time such as M’Gallery Cat Ba, Flamingo Cat Ba Beach resort, artificial beach of Doi Rong international resort, Cat Hai- Phu Long cable car line….Haiphong is promisingly becoming one of the inviting tourist destinations in this summer vacation and will be the highlight of the non-smoke industry in Vietnam’s tourism map in the coming time.
Although Vietnam is a developing country, it's very beautiful and the people here are friendly. This is the photo of Vung Tau, one of many beautiful seasides in my country.
If you go to Viet Nam , there are a wonderful place that you can't but visit.It is Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam.
You'll see easy its differences, its beauty is the combination of past and modern.Along the stress , you'll see ancient buildings intermix with modern building.
There are many kinds of "pho",each location has a special recipe, but "pho" Ha Noi is numberone!( i bet ^_^).The taste of Ha Noi food is light, not mix much taste ,each dish has speccial taste, so it suit for
almost people.But if only concentrate your attention on "pho", u'll miss many other interesting dishs.
You'd better wait until autumn. Because , at this time, there're many people from all over the world(sorry, i made a misstake) i meam from other location in Viet Nam who come Ha Noi to prepare for their important exam , the exam to go to university.U see, Vietnamese attachs much importance to studying at university. So, Ha Noi now very crowded, tired, hot...
Vietnam is working hard to build its image as a safe and friendly tourism destination.
The government should put forth measures to develop tourism, especially regarding transport infrastructure, the quality of tourism services and human resources.
State management agencies, local authorities, businesses and residents should pay additional attention to environmental sanitation and food safety and raise public awareness of the issues.
Well done Vietnam!
