CNA Luxury reports accelerating multigenerational travel from Singapore across Asia, supported by platform-cited growth in family/group bookings and rising demand for villas, resorts, and culturally immersive experiences. Japan remains the top draw, while Vietnam—especially Phu Quoc—shows strong momentum as families prioritize flexible, bond-strengthening itineraries.
CNA Luxury reports accelerating multigenerational travel from Singapore across Asia in 2026, supported by strong year-on-year growth in group bookings and villa-style accommodation demand. Japan leads, while Vietnam—especially Phu Quoc—shows rapid search momentum, favouring resort-as-destination products and flexible, accessibility-aware itineraries.
Vietnam has granted Starlink telecommunications and radio-frequency authorizations that enable permanent infrastructure deployment, with an initial cap of four gateway stations and up to 600,000 user terminals, according to state media cited by The Diplomat. The move supports rural connectivity and disaster resilience but raises governance, security, and misuse-mitigation requirements shaped by regional precedents.
Vietnam and the European Union have upgraded ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, aligning around diversification, supply-chain resilience, and cooperation in sectors such as critical minerals, semiconductors, and trusted infrastructure. The move also reflects Vietnam’s hedging amid U.S. tariff uncertainty and the EU’s broader push toward deeper economic engagement with Southeast Asia.
The Diplomat’s January 2026 outlook suggests Southeast Asia will remain the top global destination for FDI in 2026, led by Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Mainland Southeast Asia is expected to lag due to border tensions, political uncertainty in Myanmar, and Laos’ debt constraints, while China remains the dominant investment influence alongside Western and intra-ASEAN capital.
Vietnam’s Communist Party unanimously reappointed To Lam as general secretary through 2030, reinforcing near-term political stability and signalling continued administrative overhaul. His push for double-digit growth and possible bid to also become president could increase decisiveness but heighten institutional, financial, and governance risks.
According to the source, steep 2025 U.S. tariffs reduced direct China-origin imports but incentivized rerouting of China-made goods through Vietnam. New academic estimates cited in the document place rerouted exports via Vietnam to the U.S. at over $8 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, highlighting enforcement and origin-classification challenges.
Vietnam is pursuing a value-chain upgrade in semiconductors, anchored by Viettel’s planned integrated chip facility and a national push to expand STEM talent. The strategy leverages Vietnam’s electronics-export scale but faces execution, upstream equipment dependency, and human-capital scaling risks.
