According to booking data from June 15 to July 7 on the Agoda platform, Da Lat is a prominent domestic destination with an average room rate of VND1.45 million. The city of thousands of flowers has dethroned Hue, which topped the rankings in April 2024. This data shows that more and more tourists are choosing Da Lat as a stopover not only because of its natural scenery and cool weather, but also because of its affordable costs. The trend of budget travel is not only popular in Vietnam but also spreading across Asia, where affordable destinations are increasingly attracting attention as major holidays and festivals are approaching, including Vietnam's National Day on September 2. According to Agoda's rankings, in addition to Da Lat in Vietnam, destinations such as Hat Yai (Thailand), Yogyakarta (Indonesia), Kuching (Malaysia) and Siargao Island (Philippines), Narita (Japan), Goa (India), Taichung (Taiwan) and Busan (South Korea) are also becoming priority choices for tourists. The data is based on the lowest average room rates from August 15 to September 30. The trend of choosing affordable destinations reflects a change in travel psychology, where reasonable prices and diverse experiences are gradually replacing luxurious and expensive vacations. Mr. Vu Ngoc Lam, Agoda's director in Vietnam, said that with the increasing demand for vacations at the end of the year, Agoda's ranking of the most affordable travel destinations in Asia will help tourists make the right choices, enjoy an exciting vacation while keeping a reasonable budget. "These destinations not only offer unique experiences but also meet the needs of tourists, whether for a short or long vacation. We hope this list will inspire and encourage tourists to explore new destinations at a more economical cost," said Mr. Lam. Tourism experts believe that the trend of budget travel will continue to be popular in the coming time, especially when the global economy faces many challenges. Choosing destinations with reasonable costs not only helps tourists save money but also brings new experiences, exploring little-known lands with great tourism potential. In addition, the trend of budget travel also promotes the development of tourism services such as homestays, hostels and cheap tours, creating a more diverse and rich tourism ecosystem. Despite having the lowest average room rates, the destinations on the list still ensure a diverse range of experiences, providing a great opportunity for travelers to experience world travel at an affordable price.
