Viet Nam leads list of world's tourist destinations

Viet Nam topped the list of the world's emerging tourist attractions this year, according to a recent official report by the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA).
Viet Nam was closely followed by India, Ecuador and China on the list of destinations that US tour operators consider as increasingly popular in the year to come.
The USTOA's list was announced at an annual conference held on Marco Island, Florida.
Smart Travel Asia, a prestigious online travel magazine, also highlighted Vietnamese tourism by recently listing Ha Noi and Hoi An as among the most attractive tourist destinations in Asia last year.
Smart Travel Asia's list was compiled according to votes cast by the online magazine's one million strong worldwide readership.
