The world's largest travel guidance platform TripAdvisor has recently announced winners of its Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best 2024, with various destinations in Vietnam honoured.

Vietnam's tourism industry has set a target to welcome 17-18 million foreign visitors in 2024, approaching the pre-pandemic record in 2019 when COVID-19 had yet to disrupt global travel.

Sixty international cruise ships with a total of some 80,000 passengers aboard have registered to dock at Ha Long International Port in the northeastern province of Quang Ninh this year, according to the provincial Department of Tourism.

Vietjet opens a direct route between Hanoi and Dien Bien, shortening travel time for people and tourists between the two localities, expanding trade and tourism opportunities between the Northwest region and the capital city Hanoi, as well as Northern delta provinces.

A delegation from the Indonesian Travel Agents Association (ASTINDO) is visiting the central city of Da Nang from January 8-12, aiming to scope out the local tourism market.

Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh and Sa Pa township in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai have been listed among the world’s trending destinations by the renowned travel site TripAdvisor.

International visitors to Vietnam stood at 12.6 million in 2023, 3.4-fold higher than in 2022 and far exceeding the target of 8 million for the year but still just 70% of the figure in pre-pandemic 2019.

Ninh Thuan’s arid climate and abundant sunlight have given a rise to distinctive agricultural products, providing an advantageous foundation for the south-central province to boost the development of agritourism.

Pa Khoang Lake, the largest reservoir in Dien Bien province, is nestled among majestic natural surroundings and boasts a refreshing climate and abundant lush vegetation. Its setting makes it ideal for the development of eco-tourism and resorts, providing a perfect opportunity for visitors to explore and relax amid nature.

The northernmost province of Ha Giang, honoured as the “Asia's Leading Emerging Tourism Destination” by World Travel Awards 2023 and among the 52 best places to travel in 2023 by New York Times, is rolling out measures to optimise its cultural values for tourism development and taking tourism expansion as a way to preserve and promote the local culture.

Vietjet has received four wet-leased aircraft to expand its fleet of 103 aircraft, offering more flying opportunities for passengers at affordable prices to serve the traveling demands of people during the peak season.

2024 is expected to be a good year for Vietnam's tourism sector as positive signals have been seen in many destinations such as Phu Quoc, Tay Ninh and Da Nang right from the beginning of the year.

The world’s largest travel site TripAdvisor has revealed that its Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best 2023 honours Hoi An ancient city and Ho Chi Minh City in its “Trending Destinations” category.

Hanoi has been honoured in two categories of the Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best 2023 by TripAdvisor – the world's largest travel guidance platform.
