The latest report from Agoda on Summer Travel Trends 2022 shows that Vietnam leads the list of most attractive destinations for Korean tourists. In addition to the appeal of beautiful blue summer beaches and the friendliness and hospitality of Vietnamese people, the fact that Koreans return to work in Vietnam after the social distancing period is also one of the reasons that put Vietnam at the top of the list.
At the same time, Vietnam is also on the list of destinations that tourists from Japan, Thailand and Malaysia want to visit in the summer of 2022. Meanwhile, on the list of countries attracting Vietnamese tourists, the leading position is Thailand, followed by Singapore, France, South Korea and Indonesia.
Domestic tourism is still the preferred choice for Vietnamese people. Summer is always ideal for family groups to gather, so it is easy to see that the two big cities, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, hold the first and third positions respectively, the remaining positions are mainly concentrated in coastal cities due to the need of many tourists to avoid the summer heat.
Favorite domestic destinations in 2022 for Vietnamese people include: Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hanoi, Vung Tau, Da Lat, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Ha Long, Hoi An, Phan Thiet.
The number of Korean tourists to Vietnam is increasing.
