Vietnam considered the best-value destination for Australian tourists
The pitiful depreciation of VND is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Australian tourists.
New Zealand, the US, Indonesia, the UK, Thailand, Fiji, and China have long been popular travel destinations for Australians. However, recent years have witnessed a shift in travel trends, with Vietnam emerging as a standout destination. As per the latest data from the Expedia HiFX Foreign Exchange Index, which tracks currency fluctuations against the Australian dollar, Vietnam has become one of the most affordable getaways for Australians in 2025.
Within the last year, the Australian dollar appreciated by over 15% against the Vietnamese dong, surpassing several other countries such as Hungary, Latvia, Denmark, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, and the Czech Republic. This trend positions Vietnam at the top of the list for value-conscious travelers seeking remarkable experiences at competitive prices. Australians have an exceptional opportunity to leverage this advantageous exchange rate while enjoying Vietnam's stunning coastlines, majestic mountains, and vibrant culture. As such, visitors can expect a warm welcome and numerous enticing offers throughout their stay in this increasingly popular Asian destination.
