Summer's here, let's go on vacation!

Specifically, Da Nang finished in first place, while other popular destinations included Nha Trang (3rd), Hoi An (4th), Da Lat (6th), Phu Quoc (7th), and Quy Nhon (9th). The remaining positions in the Top 10 were occupied by Bangkok, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, ranking 2nd, 5th, and 8th respectively. Paris was the only European destination to appear on the list of favorite destinations for Vietnamese tourists, ranking 10th. Furthermore, Vietnam was also a hot international travel destination in 2019, appearing in the top 10 favorites of tourists from South Korea (2nd), Thailand (4th), Japan (8th), and Singapore (10th).

For travelers from other countries, Tokyo, London, and Las Vegas continue to be among the world's top destinations for 2019. Japan dominates the summer vacation plans of many travelers in the Asia-Pacific region, with six destinations making it into the top 10 this summer. Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Kyoto, and two newcomers this year, Sapporo and Fukuoka, have caused Singapore and Hong Kong to drop out of the top 10.

Tokyo not only attracts Asian tourists but is also one of the top 10 favorite destinations for travelers worldwide. Agoda's booking data shows that Tokyo ranked 2nd and 5th respectively in the hearts of American and European travelers in 2019.

While travelers from the Asia-Pacific region prefer relaxing in their own areas, travelers from the Middle East, North America, and Europe are looking to "cross" continents to enjoy the summer. London and Paris, the fashion capitals of the Middle East, are favorite destinations for Middle Eastern travelers this year, while Rome, with its glamorous history and elegant Italian charm, ranks third. Asian destinations such as Bali, Tokyo, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur are also proving their appeal to Middle Eastern travelers, making it into the top 10 of 2019.

Las Vegas held the top spot for North American travelers in 2019, while Tokyo pushed New York down from second to third place. International cities like London, Paris, and Rome, with their blend of history and modernity, also made it into the top 10. Los Angeles, Orlando, Chicago, and Seattle were among the top 10 domestic destinations this summer.

Meanwhile, Europeans are increasingly willing to travel far to their "dream" summer vacation destinations. Asian destinations such as Bali, Bangkok, Tokyo, and Pattaya have knocked many historic European cities out of the top 10. New York and Las Vegas have also made it onto the list of favorites for European travelers this year, marking a shift in the travel habits of visitors from the "old continent".
