The website wrote that as temperatures rise across the globe, driven by factors such as climate change and global warming, many Asian travelers are starting to desert beaches and tropical islands for vacations in cooler locations from Scandinavia to the mountains of Vietnam.
Nikkei Asia shared that many Asian people, especially those who have smaller budgets, are focusing on cool spots within the continent such as Sa Pa in northern Vietnam, which is a premier trekking hot spot that offers lush greenery and the chance to meet people from the country's hill tribe minorities.
Instead of heading to the beaches of Thailand or Bali, many tourists are traveling to destinations such as Alaska, Norway, and Canada. Indeed, all of these locations provide a more exotic travel experience for Asian travelers, including opportunities for trying new activities such as sledging, skiing, and whale watching, it added.
Top 10 destinations to beat the summer heat in Vietnam are Sa Pa, Y Ty, Mau Son, Hoang Su Phi, Tam Dao, Pu Luong, Mooc Stream, Ba Na Hills, Bach Ma National Park, and Da Lat./.
