Vietnam in the film focus: tourist rush thanks to the new blockbuster!

During the "Vietnamese cinema night", new films were presented in Vietnam, which appeal to both local and international filmmakers. The event was part of an initiative to promote international cooperation in the film sector. Vietnam recorded an increase in tourism in the first four months of 2025, with over 6 million international visitors in the first quarter. This growth can also be attributed to the influence of films that have been shot in tourist places and arouse the interest of tourists. Ninh Binh particularly stands out because this region is often used as a backdrop for blockbuster films such as "Kong: Skull Island".

The number of visitors at locations increases significantly after very well -known films have been released. The film “Bo Gia” by Tran Thanh in particular has strengthened interest in Saigon's old culture. Nguyen Trung Khanh, director of the Vietnamese tourism authority, emphasizes the cultural and natural resources of Vietnam, which are considered treasures of the country. In fact, Vietnam's natural resources worldwide are 26, while the cultural resources are in 28th place.

tourism and film industry

The success of films such as "Kong: Skull Island" has underlined Vietnam's potential as a location for Hollywood productions. This shows how important the film industry is for the tourist attractiveness. Similar to Korea, which attracts tourists through cultural connections and attracts the K-pop culture, Vietnam is increasingly being viewed as an attractive location for film productions in Asia. Experts emphasize the importance of integrating tourist messages into films without losing the artistic value. It is noteworthy that 70 % of tourists travel independently, which underlines the need for strong brand advertising for travel destinations.

In order to further develop the tourist possibilities, the unique landscape of Vietnam also plays an important role. Three quarters of the Vietnamese territory consist of mountains and plateau, while Reisfelder shape the landscape. These rice fields have a fascinating variety of green tones that change depending on the season. Vietnam's fertile river deltas enable up to three harvests per year, but the harvest is hard handwork because machines are rarely used. The rhythm of life of the rural population is strongly determined by the cycles of agriculture.

Cultural Aspects and Societal Challenges

The level of the level of education in Vietnam is traditionally high, but there is still a gap between the city and rural population. While the general compulsory schooling applies, many families in the country cannot bear the costs of school materials. This means that children are often used as workers. In the country, the life of old traditions follows, whereas cities like Hanoi and Saigon have modernized themselves. Saigon, which was renamed "Ho Chi-Minh-Stadt" in 1976, remains known as Saigon in everyday life and is often referred to as Hanoi's "frivolous niece", since life there is apparently lighter.

The challenges that Vietnam has to manage in the transition to the market economy should not be underestimated, although the Socialist State Code should not be underestimated. The younger generation in particular is characterized by foreign influences and shows interest in Western culture, which leads to tensions between the generations and questions of national identity. The idea of ​​freedom has changed in the country, from national independence to individual freedom, which is an interesting social development.

All in all, it turns out that Vietnam is booming in the cinematic and tourist scene and can use its cultural wealth to become visible internationally as an attractive goal. Further developments could help to continue and strengthen this trend.
