Based on actual survey data, Da Nang of Vietnam is among the 5 famous tourist destinations in the world that suit the budget travel trend in the summer of Vietnamese and international tourists.
These 5 locations were selected by Booking.com based on real data, based on discounts and deals 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 expensive and busiest travel destinations during the summer (June to August).

The destinations selected in this list are classified according to three budget levels (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.
