UK media hails thriving Vietnam amid Asian tourism boom
VOV.VN - Vietnam has been named among one of the examples of Asia's tourism boom thanks to its stunning destinations, warm climate, and affordable prices, according to British newspaper The Daily Express.

The media outlet revealed that Vietnam welcomed a total of 17.6 million international tourists in 2024, whilst it has broken its tourism record with over six million visitors in the first quarter of this year.
“Vietnam can credit its success to many things, including that the country benefits being warm all year round, and currently the average temperature for April can hit right up to 33C,” it noted.
It also shared that thanks to the low prices and warm weather, a trip to Vietnam makes a great option for sun-seeking Brits who are eager to get away, with travelers finding that Vietnam has plenty to offer when visiting the country.
In an article posted on express.co.uk, the piece stressed that the Southeast Asian country boasts an abundance of stunning natural landscapes to explore, much more than just white sandy beaches.
“It ranges from mountains and rice terraces to waterfalls and bays. The country has so many wonders that will take your breath away,” it added.
One of the most attractive destinations, according to the UK newspaper, is Ha Long Bay situated in the northern province of Quang Ninh that is home to thousands of differently shaped and sized islands and islets.
“As well as being a popular tourism destination, where cruises sail along the emerald green waters, the bay is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, described as an "exceptionally beautiful landscape,” it said.
The media outlet also mentioned Da Lat City in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong.
“Known as the ‘City of Eternal Spring’, Da Lat is renowned for its mild weather, incredible landscapes, and romantic atmosphere. The city attracts travellers who are seeking to unwind as well as those wanting to experience the ultimate outdoor adventure,” it revealed.
The newspaper also noted that the area is a great spot for hiking, mountain biking, and canyoning. It suggested that visitors should spend time exploring Nui Ba National Park or take the trails heading up Lang Biang mountain.
The best way to enjoy Vietnam's hot weather would be to visit the beach, which the country isn't short of.
“With coastline stretching over 3000 kilometres, Vietnam has plenty of beaches, which are unique to one another. From family beaches to island-hopping ones, there's an ideal beach for everyone and everything to enjoy in this mesmerising country,” it concluded.
