HCM CITY – Đà Nẵng City is among the top 10 Asia-Pacific summer destinations for Hong Kong travelers, according to the South China Morning Post.

The Hong Kong-based newspaper has ranked Đà Nẵng third among 10 most popular destinations for Hong Kong tourists to enjoy summer holidays. The ranking was based on an increase in flight searches.

South Korea, mainland China, Japan and Hong Kong are the four groups of foreign visitors with the highest growth rates in the central city of Việt Nam. 

Fukuoka in Japan was the most sought destination, followed by Chiang Mai in Thailand. Melbourne and Sydney in Australia came in fourth and fifth on the list. The rest of the top 10 included South Korea's Busan, Thailand’s Phuket, Japan's Sapporo and Okinawa, and Taiwan’s Taichung.
