Tourism across the continent of Asia is on the rise, as a result of the vast number of stunning destinations, warm climate, and cheap prices. Vietnam is just one of the many examples of Asia's tourism boom, as the beautiful country welcomed 17.6 million international tourists in 2024, and has broken its tourism record with over six million visitors in the first quarter of this year. Vietnam can credit its success to many things, including that the country benefits being warm all year round, and currently the average temperature for April can hit right up to 33C.

In fact, a pint of beer costs as little as 75p. With low prices and warm weather, a trip to Vietnam makes a great option for sun-seeking Brits, who are urging to get away, and when visiting the country, travellers will find that Vietnam has so much more to offer.

Vietnam has an abundance of stunning natural landscapes to explore and its not just white sandy beaches. It ranges from mountains and rice terraces to waterfalls and bays. The country has so many wonders that will take your breath away.

Ha Long Bay located in the Quang Ninh province, is a bay that is home to thousands of differently shaped and sized islands and islets. As well as being a popular tourism destination, where cruises sail along the emerald green waters, the bay is also a UNSECO World Heritage Site, described as an "exceptionally beautiful landscape".

At Ha Long Bay, visitors can cruise around, explore one of the many floating villages, enjoy some kayaking, peak inside a cave, or even do a bit of rock climbing. There are so many options at this one destination alone out of the many in Vietnam.

When it comes to taking a step back and recharging, Vietnam is the place to be. The country's tourism website describes wellness as "a way of life in Vietnam", which is apparent with the tranquil wellness resorts and spas found around the country.

Visitors can also enjoy a full detox at a mountain retreat in the city of Da Lat, located in the Lam Dong Province of Vietnam. Known as the "City of Eternal Spring", Da Lat is renowned for its mild weather, incredible landscapes, and romantic atmosphere. The city attracts travellers who are seeking to unwind as well as those wanting to experience the ultimate outdoor adventure.

Its dramatic terrain makes it a great spot for hiking, mountain biking, and canyoning. When it comes to exploring the terrain, you have the options of following local guides around Bidoup Nui Ba National Park, or you can take on your own trails on Lang Biang mountain.

The best way however, to enjoy Vietnam's hot weather would of course be a visit to the beach, which the country isn't short of. With coastline stretching over 3000 kilometres, Vietnam has plenty of beaches, which are unqiue to one another. From family beaches to island-hopping ones, there's an ideal beach for everyone and everything to enjoy in this mesmerising country.
