Vietnam has officially become Asia’s most affordable travel destination in 2025, surpassing traditionally popular countries such as India, Japan, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Thailand. This distinction is largely due to the Vietnamese dong’s strong currency advantage and Vietnam’s consistently low costs for food, accommodation, transportation, and tourist attractions.
Current exchange rates bolster Vietnam’s appeal:
- 1 US dollar = 25,921.50 Vietnamese dong
- 1 Euro = 29,030.00 Vietnamese dong
These favorable rates provide international travelers with substantial purchasing power, making Vietnam the top choice for budget-conscious tourists seeking rich cultural and travel experiences across Asia.
