# Turismo en Laos

El turismo en Laos está regulado por una agencia gubernamental a nivel ministerial y estatal, la Administración Nacional de Turismo de Laos (LNTA). El número de turistas ha ido progresivamente aumentando año tras año, solo viendo un descenso significativo en el año 2020 debido a la pandemia de COVID19.
