Varun Grover, Country Head, Vietnam at Booking.com, said that summer has always been a peak travel season, but in recent years, there has been a significant shift in the way Vietnamese approach it.

The predictions for summer 2024 are based on tracking searches for summer holidays from June 15 to August 15 this year. The group of tourists participating in the survey is quite diverse, from solo travelers to families and groups of friends.
