A prominent United States-based travel website has named Ho Chi Minh City as its second most-affordable destination for 2016 – news that will be welcomed by all property industry professionals in the Vietnamese property industry given the proven link between tourists and eventual property buyers and investors.
With the New Year quickly approaching, www.priceline.com has analysed hotel bookings for 2016 to forecast where travelers will be heading after the New Year.
Once again, the number one spot on priceline.com’s list of top destinations for 2016 goes to Las Vegas, and overall Florida was found to be the most popular state with multiple warm-weather cities on the list, including Orlando, Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
While many travelers will be heading stateside, others will be heading internationally to Asia next year, including to Bangkok which it named as being the most affordable destination, and also the third most-popular international destination for Americans next year.
Priceline.com Travel Editor Brian Ek said: “Within the U.S., Las Vegas and other big cities like New York City, Miami and San Francisco remain top favorites; however, we’re also seeing the resurgence of interest in traditional Florida destinations, such as Sarasota and Cocoa Beach – both of which have favorable average daily rates under US$125 per night on priceline.com.
“International draws include favorites such as Cancun and Costa Rica in Latin America and newcomers such as Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Sydney in the southeastern part of the world.”
