Amidst the growing interest and discussion surrounding the "slow travel" trend, digital travel platform Agoda has released a list of eight Asian destinations favored by travelers for longer, more relaxed trips. Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam ranked seventh on this list.
Slow travel is a type of tourism that focuses on experiencing local culture, connecting more deeply with the community, and enjoying unique travel experiences. Instead of rushing from one attraction to another, slow travelers spend more time at each destination exploring and immersing themselves in the lives of the local people.
In its list of Asian destinations, Agoda has announced the top 8 most popular choices for longer, relaxing trips based on booking data from January to March 2024. Leading the list is Khao Lak in Thailand, followed by Seoul, South Korea, then the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia and Tokyo, Japan. These are destinations that not only attract tourists but also make them want to stay longer to explore and experience.
In Vietnam, besides Ho Chi Minh City, which is the destination where tourists stay the longest on average, Bac Ninh and Phu Quoc Island rank second and third, respectively.
