Da Nang ranked 2nd in the list of the 10 most popular destinations amongst solo or couple travelers, Ticket Monster Inc. said, citing its analysis of air ticket reservations in July and August. Osaka of Japan topped the list.
The website said people who plan to travel abroad with their family members chose Da Nang as the most popular destination.
The Vietnamese central coastal city is also the second-most popular destination amongst couple of travelers, followed by Bangkok (Thailand) and Guam (the US), it said.
The number of outbound RoK travelers has been on the rise in recent years with the increase of affordable tickets offered by low-cost local carriers.
Data compiled by the Korea Tourism Organisation showed more than 9.66 million Koreans traveled to foreign countries in the first four months of 2018, up 13.4% from a year earlier.
