Da Nang in Central Viet Nam is the most popular summer vacation destination of tourists from the Republic of Korea this year, a shift from last year’s preference for Japanese cities.

The RoK media quoted e-commerce website Ticket Monster as saying that flight ticket sales in the July-August period showed Da Nang as the top foreign travel location. Travel in the city is relatively cheap, about 90 USD per day, and is a manageable distance from the RoK, about four and a half hours by flight.

The wevsite’s sales data shows a growing preference for places that offer hotel, resort, shopping and tourism activities altogether.

The number of visitors to Da Nang is increasing with annual average growth of 20.06 % in the 2013-2017 period.
