Hanoi – Four Vietnamese cities have been listed among the most
popular destinations in Asia in 2020, according to 2021 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards.

On the list, Hanoi ranked second, ancient town Hoi An in central Quang Nam province fourth, Ho Chi Minh City 11th and central Da Nang city
16th.

Hanoi was also ranked the sixth place among the 25 most popular destinations in the world by
Tripadvisor.

The awards reveal where travellers
ventured in 2020, while travel was open, as well as where they dreamed of going
while the COVID-19 pandemic kept them stuck at home.

“The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter,
monuments and colonial architecture, while making room for modern developments
alongside,” wrote the world’s largest travel platform.

Lakes, parks, shady boulevards and more than 600 temples and pagodas add to the
appeal of this city, which is easily explored by taxi.

Destinations which came before Hanoi in the global rankings included Bali
(Indonesia), London (the UK), Dubai (the United Arab Emirates), Rome (Italy)
and Paris (France).

In addition, the ancient city of Hoi An in central
Quang Nam province occupied the 11th spot.

“This city on the central Vietnamese coast is a well-preserved example of the
important Southeast Asian trading port it was from
the 15th-19th centuries. Already a common stop for backpackers, it is becoming
better known to tourists,” Tripadvisor noted.

The other categories of the awards are Trending and Emerging destinations
around the world./.

Thua Thien-Hue – The number of international cruise ships bringing thousands of tourists to Chan May port in the central province of Thua Thien – Hue began to pick up again after a long period being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a survey by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), cruise tourism is a high-revenue form of tourism, with its revenue over 40% higher than other forms such as air or road travel. The UNWTO forecast that in 2023, cruise tourism will experience a strong recovery, and Thua Thien – Hue has many advantages to tap this type of tourism.

Thua Thien-Hue’s Chan May port has the capacity to accommodate ships with a tonnage of up to 70,000 DWT and tourist ships up to 225,000 GRT. This deep-water port has been selected by the Asia Cruise Association as one of the 46 stopovers in Southeast Asia for cruise ships and large tourist vessels.

Deputy General Director of Chan May Port JSC Nguyen Van Chuong said the port enjoys a special natural advantage with a 7 km-wide bay, a vast water surface area of up to 20 sq.km, and mostly natural depths ranging from 9-14m, with minimal sedimentation. The port previously welcomed large cruise ships with considerable length and tonnage, capable of carrying over 6,200 passengers and crewmembers. A number of domestic and foreign partners have expressed interest in joint efforts to develop the Chan May port into a destination for big luxury liners in the central region.

Since 2018, the port has welcomed numerous luxury cruisers, including Royal Caribbean, Costa Cruises, Small Cruise, Princess Cruises, Ovation of the Seas, and Mary Queen 2, affirming its brand value on the global and regional tourism maps.

Permanent Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Binh revealed that the Aeon Mall Hue commercial centre project has a total capital of over 169 million USD, the largest-scale one in the central region. Operational in 2025, the project will contribute to diversifying shopping centres and services for both residents and tourists. Additionally, the province is preparing to attract investment in a large-scale shopping mall near Phu Bai International Airport./.
