The Top Vietnamese Travel Trend for 2024: Exploring Our Own Backyard

Vinh Hy Bay in Ninh Thuan, a province in south-central Vietnam, was the second most searched destination by locals, according to Google’s ‘Year in Search 2024’ list. The top spot went to Malaysia, with Europe also making an appearance in sixth place as a desired international travel location.

Other domestic destinations that made the cut include the ancient town of Hoi An in Quang Nam Province, Con Son in the bustling city of Can Tho, Gia Lai Province with its lush mountains, the romantic city of Da Lat in Lam Dong Province, Thuy Chau tourist area in Binh Duong Province, and the ever-popular Da Nang. The list also included a general search for ‘travel within Vietnam,’ indicating a growing interest in exploring the beauty of their own country.

A spokesperson from Google Vietnam confirmed to Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper that the data in the list was carefully compiled, with search phrases like ‘travel to Vinh Hy’ and ‘Thuy Chau tourist area’ reflecting the exact keywords used by locals. The rankings are based on the frequency of these searches, showcasing the destinations that captured the hearts of Vietnamese travelers.

The bay of Vinh Hy, with its serene atmosphere and unique natural landscape, has become an appealing alternative to the more crowded Vung Tau City. Its pristine beaches, dry forest ecosystem, vineyard tours, and coral reef snorkeling offer a diverse range of attractions for travelers seeking relaxation and a connection with nature.

For those looking beyond Vietnam’s borders, Malaysia and Europe presented themselves as desirable options. Malaysia, in particular, stands out for its visa-free entry for Vietnamese citizens, affordable flights, and a rich cultural tapestry. Additionally, its low cost of living and convenient public transport make it an ideal choice for those seeking a blend of excitement and affordability.

As reflected in the search trends, Vietnamese travelers are increasingly drawn to destinations that offer a balance of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and leisure activities. Whether it’s exploring the tranquil bays of their own country or venturing to the vibrant cities of neighboring nations, these travel choices showcase a deep appreciation for the diverse wonders that the world has to offer.

Vietnamese Football Club Ordered to Pay $73,000 to Slovakian Team for Player Training Expenses

“We have successfully completed the transfer of fines and compensation to the designated recipient, effectively resolving the issue,” said Ngo Quoc Ta, Chairman of SHB Da Nang FC, a top-tier V-League 1 team in Vietnam, in an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday. “The incident has served as a valuable lesson for our club and other professional football clubs,” Ta added. Bui Xuan Hoa, Ta’s predecessor, attributed the incident to the team’s lack of expertise in the regulations and legal procedures surrounding the transfer of player Pham Thanh Tiep. Tiep, who was born in Slovakia in 1996 and trained at FC Banik Prievidza, a team in the Slovak third-tier league, since the age of 12, joined SHB Da Nang on a trial basis in early 2019 and eventually secured a two-year contract. However, due to a mismatch in playing style, Tiep terminated his contract with SHB Da Nang and reimbursed one year’s worth of the signing fee. According to FIFA regulations, when a club signs a prof...
