Vietnam ranks in top 7 most searched tourist destinations in the world

Vietnam is ranked in the top 7 most searched tourist destinations in the world over the first half of 2023, according to statistics from Destination Insights with Google.

With beautiful natural scenery, a strong Asian cultural identity, and affordable prices, Vietnam’s tourism sector has been recovering nicely in the first 6 months of the year and is gradually returning to its rightful spot on the world tourism map.

Thanks to proactive initiatives from the government, including an e-visa policy and an expanded visa-free stay that will take effect next August, Vietnam is expected to attract more and more international tourists.

Each Victoria hotel and resort has its own distinctive beauty, blending the cultural values and unique natural landscapes of each region with Indochina-inspired architecture.

Breaking out of the usual hotel mold, the boutique Victoria chain offers guests an authentic view of local culture through a variety of experiences, including the opportunity to meet and interact with local residents while holidaying in Vietnam.
