Nha Trang is the most favorite international destination for Korean tourists in the summer of 2025

On June 23, the leader of the Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Tourism Association said that the global online travel platform Agoda has just announced that Nha Trang has surpassed Tokyo - the most popular destination last year to become the top choice of Korean tourists this summer. The above information is based on data from Korean tourists searching for hotels for check-in time in June and July. It is known that the top 5 international destinations searched by Korean tourists include: Nha Trang, Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka (Japan) and Da Nang.

According to Agoda, the summer vacation of Korean office workers usually takes place from late July to early August every year, but due to the forecast that this summer in Korea will be extremely hot and have a long rainy season, many people are tending to adjust their vacation schedule earlier than usual. Going early also helps tourists save on accommodation costs and avoid the crowded peak season. The ongoing global inflation trend is causing tourists to shift to nearby destinations with reasonable prices and short flight times. And that is the advantage of Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa as well as famous tourist destinations in Vietnam that have quality tourism services but the prices of accommodation and food are not too expensive.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, South Korea (surpassing China) has become the largest international tourist market for Khanh Hoa tourism. In 2024, the province welcomed about 4.8 million international visitors, including more than 2.4 million Korean visitors. In the first 5 months of 2025, Khanh Hoa welcomed more than 1 million visitors from the land of kimchi, an increase of 4.1% over the same period. Currently, there are 9 Vietnamese and Korean airlines operating 19 flights/day from major cities in Korea (Seoul, Busan, Daegu...) to Cam Ranh.
