Based on actual survey data, Da Nang of Vietnam is among the 5 famous tourist destinations in the world that suit the trend of budget travel in the summer of Vietnamese and international tourists.
These 5 locations were selected by Booking.com based on real data, discounts and offers during the summer months.
According to Booking.com data, these five destinations are among the world's top beach cities and are among the most popular and expensive summer travel destinations (June to August).

For example, in Porto Cervo, Italy, one of the favorite summer vacation destinations of the world's top celebrities, the difference in room and tour prices during the summer can be up to 21%.
The destinations selected in this list are classified according to three levels of budget (of the trip) from luxury, luxury but affordable, and economical. Among them, Da Nang city is considered an economical destination, suitable for the current travel trend.
Booking.com commented, "Da Nang is famous for its beautiful coastline and is considered the most livable city in Vietnam. Da Nang is also known to global tourists for its pristine beaches, which are considered among the most beautiful beaches in the world." From Da Nang, visitors can easily explore three world cultural heritages: Hue Imperial City, Hoi An Ancient Town, and My Son Sanctuary.
