Ha Noi among most searched summer destinations in 2023

During the Summer, Vietnamese people prefer to visit big cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Noi and more tranquil towns like Da Lat/Lam Dong and Hoi An/Quang Nam.

According to Booking.com's 2023 tourism forecast, 74 percent of Vietnamese tourists believe that travel is always a worthwhile experience, and more than three-quarters of them (78 percent) said that summer is the best time to travel.

Although tourists are concerned about the global economy, they have no intention of abandoning their travel plans. Instead, the site noted that they are considering allocating their travel budgets more carefully.

Data from Booking.com shows that beautiful beaches are still the top choice for Vietnamese tourists in the summer.

Da Nang continues to top the list as the most searched domestic destination for Vietnamese tourists in the summer of 2023, followed by Nha Trang (the southern province of Khanh Hoa) and Phu Quoc (the southern province of Kien Giang).

The remaining destinations on the list are Ha Long (the northern province of Quang Ninh), Hue (the central province of Thua Thien-Hue) and Vung Tau (the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau).

Earlier, Vietnam was among the top five international destinations to visit this summer, along with Japan, New Zealand, Italy, and France, U.S. travel site Travel off Path cited data from travel website Expedia.

Travel off Path added, "Ha Noi is the country's capital and is known as its art capital. You can find some of the city's most exciting architecture and centuries-old culture."
