MoneyWise, a UK digital personal finance publication, has just named Vietnam the number one destination among the ten best countries in the world that you can visit in a modicum of comfort without breaking the bank.
“You'll be amazed what you can get in Vietnam for just US$1. No, really, US$1 will get you a couple of beers. It’ll also get you a bowl of delicious pho (noodle soup). Five bucks will get you a room for the night,” MoneyWise wrote.
But the star of the show has to be the city of Hoi An, where you can get yourself a custom-made suit — something that would set you back at least a grand in New York — for just US$100.
On the list, Vietnam is followed by Bolivia, Thailand, Turkey, India, Czech Republic (Czechia), Spain, Egypt, South Africa, and Madagascar.
Earlier, Vietnam has been ranked second on the list of the best budget-friendly destinations in the world for families that should be on one’s bucklist, released by Nine, a Australian website.
Nine says Vietnam is one of the best Southeast Asia destinations to explore with little one tin tow.
“There’s no doubt Ho Chi Minh City can be stressful for families – particularly if pushing a pram, but check into one of the many cheap guest houses available and enjoy the city’s French Colonial architecture, Ben Thanh night market, and the ridiculously cheap street food as least for a couple of days,” Nine wrote.
The number of foreign tourists to Vietnam in the first half of 2018 is estimated at 7.89 million, increasing by 27.2% year-on-year, the General Statistics Office has announced.
Arrivals by air, road, and sea in the reviewed period recorded annual increases of 22.2%, 63.7% and 1.7%, respectively, while growth was also seen in the numbers of visitors from all five continents.
