Bookings for the Vietnamese cities have increased more than threefold from last year.
The year is closing in and vacation enthusiasts around the
world have made numerous travel plans for 2018, and they have expressed much
bigger interest in Hanoi and Da Nang.
New data from Airbnb, an accommodation service that allows
people to list their homes and hotels for holiday rentals, named the Vietnamese
cities among the top 10 trending destinations based on booking increases over
last year.
Vietnam is seeing booking
surges in the cities of Hanoi (212 percent) and Da Nang (255 percent),
“which blend gleaming waterfronts and centuries-old architecture with
cosmopolitan amenities,” the site said in report earlier this month.
Da Nang in the central coast
ranks fifth and the 1,000-year-old capital Hanoi ninth in the list, which is dominated
with laid-back beach towns and mountain retreats.
The two cities are
among the most popular destinations in Vietnam’s fast-growing tourism
market. Hanoi
expects 4.3 million foreign visitors this year, up more than 7 percent from
2016. Da Nang, which hosts the annual international
fireworks festival and welcomed world leaders for the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC)
Summit in November, is seeing a staggering 37 percent increase in foreign
arrivals, to 2.3 million.
Airbnb has received bookings for the first half of 2018
and it expects the biggest year for the booking service.
Gangneung of South Korea is the most trending destination
with bookings rising 2,175 percent from last year, indicating excitement for
the 2018 Winter Games.
Midwestern cities in the United
States with new restaurants, nightlife and local arts,
and ocean-side communities in southern America also expect surges in
number of visitors.
The biggest bookings go through the familiar popular
destinations Tokyo, Paris,
Osaka, New York,
London and Rome.
