Nearly half of the world’s more than one billion international tourist arrivals are to emerging economies like the Mekong region. Through 2030, their tourism industries are expected to grow at double the average pace of tourism in advanced countries.
The Mekong region has experienced the fastest inbound tourism growth of any subregion in Asia, with tourist arrivals growing 190 percent over the last decade. The region is well positioned to sustain this rapid growth thanks to its proximity to the growing outbound markets of India and China.
Tourism generates significant economic opportunity and jobs, so Mekong region governments are investing by easing visa requirements, developing new land and sea connections have been developed, and linking more primary and secondary cities by air.
