Vietnam is among the top five international destinations to visit this summer, along with Japan, New Zealand, Italy, and France, U.S. travel site Travel off Path cited data from travel website Expedia.

According to Travel off Path, summer is time for travel and traveling to Europe or Asia is perfect in the summertime due to the many events in each destination.

"Things are changing, and traveling is becoming more accessible," Travel off Path wrote on its website.

As a result, summer vacation planning is heating up, with searches up 50 percent over last year.

Vietnam is one of the most sought-after destinations on Expedia.

Searches and bookings for Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City have soared 298, 439, and 219 percent, respectively.

The rates prove there is more to the world than stereotypical destinations that people go to every year.

Travel off Path added, “Hanoi is the country’s capital and is known as its art capital. You can find some of the city’s most exciting architecture and centuries-old culture.”
