The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Tourism Development in Vietnam. Using an autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL model) on the data during the period over 2003-2017, collected from World Development Indicators, Department of Statistics in Vietnam. Evidence from the study shows that Foreign Direct Investment and Tourism Development are co-integrated and have a long-run equilibrium relationship. Our results demonstrate that in both short run and long run, Foreign Direct Investment shows a slightly negative impact on Tourism Development in Vietnam. It is noteworthy that the Vietnamese Government share a budget from Foreign Direct Investment on Tourism Development - a lack of priority economic area from Foreign Direct Investment.
