According to The Travel off Path, summer travel is always fun, but when you’re traveling internationally, it can be even more so. Traveling to places like Europe or Asia is perfect in the summertime due to the many events in each destination.

Along with Japan, New Zealand, France and Italy, Vietnam is one of destinations that has seen a significant hike in searches and bookings.

Cities like Hanoi have seen a search and book rate of up to 298%, Da Nang 439%, and Ho Chi Minh City 219%, noted The Travel off Path.

The Travel off Path also assessed Vietnam as one of four affordable Asian destinations in addition to Malaysia, Japan and Thailand in the context that airfares in Asia continue to rise.

Vietnam has become an increasingly popular destination for travelers to experience Southeast Asia. While there are countless amazing places to experience within the country, Ho Chi Minh (formerly Saigon) is the biggest city and most affordable access point for Westerners, noted The Travel off Path.

Visitors come here to experience a truly unique culture full of natural wonders and mouthwatering food at every turn.

Travelers will be mesmerised by the vast maze of winding streets, chaotic markets, colonial architecture, and historic temples.

While Ho Chi Minh City is bustling and vibrant, the capital city of Hanoi is more peaceful with ancient and massive architectural works imbued with cultural imprints including Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature), Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Saint Joseph Cathedral Church, the Old Quarter and Bat Trang pottery village.
