Vietnam digital and AI integration in travel sectors

Overview

Vietnam is advancing the integration of artificial intelligence and digital technologies across its aviation and tourism sectors. Vietnam Airlines is accelerating its digital transformation through partnerships with AWS and Visa. The collaboration with AWS focuses on evaluating generative AI for flight operations, maintenance, and passenger care, alongside implementing in-flight internet services. The agreement with Visa aims to expand the airline’s digital payment ecosystem to prioritize personalized customer experiences.

In the tourism sector, agencies like BestPrice are utilizing AI and data analytics to create detailed customer profiles. By analyzing behaviors such as page dwell time, the agency has identified specific market preferences—such as Australian travelers seeking nature and British tourists prioritizing in-depth experiences. This data-driven approach has reportedly increased advertisement click-through rates by 50% and product conversion rates by 60% to 70%, while halving the cost of acquiring interaction messages and reducing staff requirements for content production by 60% through automation.

Strategic market expansion and regional connectivity remain key priorities. Vietnam Airlines has signed memoranda of understanding with the Lao Association of Travel Agents (LATA) and the Cambodia Airport Investment Corporation (CAIC) to promote multi-destination tourism across the Indochina region. This initiative seeks to connect Vietnamese destinations with landmarks like Luang Prabang and the Angkor complex, leveraging an international visitor influx that reached nearly 17.7 million in the first nine months of 2026.

Additionally, the government is promoting cultural identity through digital innovation. The ‘Identity 2026’ program encourages the use of AI to create cultural content, while Da Nang has launched the ‘Top 100 Da Nang Touchpoints 2026’ to categorize local attractions into themed itineraries.
