中国香港与越南是游客亚洲旅游首站
China's Hong Kong and Vietnam are places where travelers should visit to get their first Asia experience, Vietnam News Agency on Friday quoted Canadian travel news site Mapped as reporting.
越南通讯社周五援引加拿大旅游新闻网站Mapped的报道，中国香港与越南是旅游者到亚洲游玩的首站。
Hong Kong offers a more modern experience while Vietnam provides a more true and authentic taste of the Asian lifestyle, Mapped said.
Vietnam's rising star in the global tourism firmament over the last decade has been affirmed by its consistent ranking in global lists by big-name travel publications including The Guardian, CNN, Lonely Planet, TripAdvisor, and Rough Guides.
Vietnam welcomed 3.8 million Chinese visitors in the first nine months of this year, or 32.8 percent of the total international arrivals, posting a year-on-year surge of 29.7 percent, according to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.
Vietnam plans to receive 16-17 million foreign visitors and 78 million domestic ones, and gain tourism revenues of 27.5 billion U.S. dollars this year, said the administration.
