“Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa has beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and many entertainment services and marine sports that attract tourists, helping us relax. The markets here are also bustling, with many delicious dishes,” said Young Mi, a RoK’s tourist.
Not only the feelings of tourists, Haps Travel magazine also stated the reason why people should not miss Nha Trang, because of the delicious food; beautiful beach; unique historical and cultural relics; exciting fun activities and water sports. “Walking along Tran Phu beach, watching the deep blue sea and sky brings a feeling of relaxation…This is a destination worth experiencing for international tourists, especially for Koreans”, the magazine wrote.
Statistics from the General Statistics Office showed the RoK remained the largest source of foreign visitors to Vietnam in the first three months of this year with more than 1.2 million arrivals, up 10% from the same time in 2019 – the time before the Covid-19 pandemic.
