According to Condé Nast Traveler's assessment, Vietnam has long been considered one of the most affordable destinations in the region. With a budget of about 100-150 USD per day, American tourists can fully enjoy services from accommodation, dining to sightseeing with equivalent, even superior quality compared to many cities in Europe, where costs can be many times higher.
The attraction is not only in the cheap price but also in the diverse tourism ecosystem, from majestic natural landscapes like Ha Long Bay, ancient and unique cities like Hoi An, to the world-famous street food.
In addition, the increasingly open visa policy also contributes to enhancing Vietnam's attractiveness. US tourists are currently visa-free for 45 days without waiting time between entry times, and can apply for 90-day e-visas at low cost, creating favorable conditions for long trips or returns many times.
Condé Nast Traveler's list emphasizes that the factor that makes a "worthwhile" destination not only lies in the exchange rate, but is the combination of accommodation, food, sightseeing and transportation costs. When these factors are at a reasonable level, the overall travel experience will become much more attractive, and Vietnam is one of the typical examples of that balance.
In addition to Vietnam, the list also includes many countries such as Romania, Kyrgyzstan, Senegal, Laos, Turkey, India, Serbia, Egypt and some other destinations such as Oman, Albania, Georgia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Guatemala.
In the context of increasing global travel costs, Vietnam still maintains its advantage as a destination that is both economical and rich in experience, continuing to affirm its position on the international tourism map.
