According to April data from Agoda, Vietnam witnessed a 66% increase in searches from the group, following Malaysia with 89% and Japan with 71%.

Agoda's country director for Vietnam, Vu Ngoc Lam, noted that this reflects Vietnam's growing allure, with an increasing number of European tourists choosing the nation as their summer holiday destination.

European countries with the highest searches for travel to Vietnam last month included France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Spain.

The three most searched destinations in Vietnam by European tourists were HCMC in the south, Ho An in the central province of Quang Nam, and Nha Trang in the central province of Khanh Hoa.

Offering a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and culture, they are ideal choices for travellers looking to enjoy their long summers to the full.
