Vietnam has been named among the top ten hot destinations for US travelers in 2019 by the US Tour Operators Association.
In an article published on USA TODAY, US Tour Operators Association mentioned Italy as the most popular destination for travelers in 2019.
“The top 10 hot destinations for the coming year also included Iceland, which ranked second. It was followed by Japan, Vietnam, Australia, France, Spain, Colombia, Cambodia and Portugal,” it said.
The ranking was based on a recent survey conducted by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the tour operator members of the USTOA.
Vietnam has also entered the list of the top 10 off-the-beaten path or emerging destinations by USTOA members.
In 2019, Vietnam expects to welcome some 103 million visitors, including around 18 million foreigners and 85 million domestic travellers, up 15 percent and 6 percent, respectively, from 2018.
The sector is hoped to contribute more than 10 percent of GDP and create 6 million jobs, including 2 million direct jobs.-VNA
