Đà Nẵng — Hội An, Nha Trang and Phú Quốc, boasting stunning beaches, high-end resorts and a kaleidoscope of tourism activities, are the most favourite destinations of Korean visitors.
According to Agoda’s country director for Việt Nam Vũ Ngọc Lâm, international tourists have found Vietnamese beaches attractive since they meet the global tourism trend.
From ancient city of Hội An to tropical Phú Quốc island or dynamic Hồ Chí Minh City, Việt Nam has a lot to offer its visitors, he stressed.
Statistics from the General Statistics Office showed the RoK remained the largest source of foreign visitors to Việt Nam in the first three months of this year with more than 1.2 million arrivals, up 10% from the same time in 2019 – the time before the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the two countries upgraded their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2022, the Việt Nam National Authority of Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organisation signed a Memorandum of Understanding on bolstering bilateral tourism for the 2023-2024 period. — VNA/VNS
