The survey is based on an analysis of the top 20 destinations in each market, with a total of 180 cities evaluated. Average prices are derived from rooms booked in January or February with check-in dates between April 1 and May 31.
With an average room rate of only 715,000 VND/night, Phong Nha (Quang Binh) has become an ideal choice for tourists who love nature and exploration. In Vietnam, Phong Nha has surpassed famous destinations such as Da Nang, Nha Trang, Hanoi, Hoi An and Phu Quoc.
Mr. Dang Dong Ha, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture - Sports - Tourism of Quang Binh province, said that being voted as the "most economical destination" by the online travel site Agoda, which specializes in booking services, should be a good thing.
Phong Nha area and surrounding areas have many quality homestays at good prices.

Because Phong Nha area mainly has good quality homestays, beautiful views, close to tourist attractions... but with good prices, it is like a "stimulus", inviting domestic and foreign tourists to Phong Nha and surrounding areas.
Mr. Ha emphasized that it should not be understood that accommodation units "lower prices" or "save to reduce tourism revenue" but should be understood as an advantage. Because when the room price is good, at least we can invite tourists to Phong Nha, from here we will continue to collect from them from many other sources such as entrance fees, food, experiences, etc.
Ranking of 9 budget travel destinations in Asia in spring according to Agoda:
1. Phong Nha (Vietnam)
2. Tirupati (India)
3. Hat Yai (Thailand)
4. Padang (Indonesia)
5. Bacolod (Philippines)
6. Kuala Terengganu (Malaysia)
7. Gimpo (South Korea)
8. Narita (Japan)
9. Pingtung (Taiwan, China)
