Vietnam’s capital Hanoi was the country’s most-searched destination by Indonesian, Filipino and Qatari tourists in the first five months of 2026, according to Agoda.
Data from the online travel platform showed that searches from Indonesia rose 86% year on year, followed by the Philippines at 82% and Qatar at 49%.
As the capital and a gateway to northern Vietnam, Hanoi draws visitors with its historic Old Quarter, tree-lined streets, lakes, and rich culinary traditions, Agoda wrote.

Hanoi’s Department of Tourism held a ceremony at Noi Bai International Airport on July 7 to welcome the capital’s five millionth international visitor of 2026.
The visitor, a Spanish national, arrived as part of a 19-member tour group on a 16-day trip across Vietnam. The group flew from Madrid on Qatar Airways, transited in Doha, and landed at Noi Bai the same day.
Hanoi aims to welcome more than 9 million foreign arrivals this year and has achieved over half of that target.
