Vietnam Named Asias Leading Destination for Fourth Consecutive Year
Go back
Vietnam has been named Asia's Leading Destination for the fourth year running at the World Travel Awards, outshining Thailand and Singapore 
Vietnam has once again been honored as "Asia's Leading Destination" at the World Travel Awards, surpassing popular competitors such as Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. This accolade marks the fourth consecutive year Vietnam has earned this prestigious title.
The country's success in the travel sector is largely attributed to its relaxed visa policies and effective tourism promotion strategies, which have significantly boosted its appeal to international tourists. In the first eight months of this year alone, Vietnam welcomed over 11 million foreign visitors, a remarkable 45.8% increase from the previous year and surpassing pre-Covid levels by 1%. South Korean and Chinese travelers have been key drivers of this surge.
In a notable example of Vietnam's growing allure, 4,500 employees from Sun Pharmaceuticals, a major Indian firm owned by Dilip Shanghvi, chose Vietnam for their incentive tour last month. The group, initially planning to visit Singapore, explored key destinations including Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Ha Long Bay.
The World Travel Awards, often referred to as the "Oscars of the travel industry," have been recognizing excellence in tourism since 1993. Winners are selected through votes cast by industry professionals and the general public, underscoring Vietnam's strong international reputation.
