Vietnam is one of the top five destinations for travelers in the Asia Pacific region during the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday, according to Agoda data released this week. Asian tourists are attracted to Vietnam due to its beautiful landscapes, diverse culture, and famous cuisine. The other top destinations in the region are Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Korean tourists currently outnumber Chinese, Singaporean, Hong Kong, and Japanese tourists in terms of the number of international visitors to Vietnam during the Lunar New Year, which is one of the largest holidays in the region. This indicates a vibrant Tet season for Vietnam’s tourism industry. Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Hanoi, and Phu Quoc are the top domestic destinations that international visitors prefer during Tet.
Vietnamese tourists are also excited about the upcoming Tet holiday. This year, Da Lat has proven to be the top domestic destination, with hill resorts attracting the most Vietnamese tourists, surpassing famous coastal cities like Nha Trang (ranked second), Da Nang (ranked third), and Phan Thiet (ranked fifth). Ho Chi Minh City is also among the top 5 and ranks fourth in terms of booking traffic during this holiday.
Apart from domestic tourism, more and more Vietnamese tourists are choosing to travel abroad during Tet.
