The southern hub has returned to being the most–booked destination to ring in the New Year after having been replaced by Da Lat, in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, in 2018, Agoda said.

This year, Da Lat is no longer on the list of top ten destinations in Vietnam, although it ranked in the top three for the last three years.

The top destinations for Vietnamese travellers to greet the New Year are Bangkok (No.3), Hanoi (No.4), Da Nang (No.5), Singapore, (No.6), Phu Quoc island (No.7), Nha Trang (No.8), China’s Taipei (No.9), and Vung Tau (No.10).

In Asia-Pacific, Tokyo continues to be the most popular destination to ring in the New Year for global travellers, while Taipei moves up to the number two spot, knocking Bangkok into third place.

Meanwhile, Paris and Las Vegas are the top destinations in Europe and North America, respectively, for global travellers to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
