Cam Ranh named among best places to visit in May
Located on the south central coast of Vietnam, Cam Ranh Bay is one of the finest deep-water harbours in the world. The bay has been touted as the next big tourist thing for years now, and it’s not difficult to see why: there are miles upon miles of stunning and largely unspoilt coast.
Travel to the Cam Ranh Bay is expected to increase, since Cam Ranh International Airport will get a new international terminal by next month.
Vietnam welcomed 4.2 million foreign visitors in the first quarter of this year, up 30.9 percent from a year ago, and is expected to receive 15-17 million this year./.
(VNF) - Cam Ranh Bay (Khanh Hoa province) has been named among the world’s seven best destinations for May by top travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler.

The Condé Nast’s list also includes Paris, Sicily and Puglia in Italy, Portugal’s remote Azores islands, Cannes and Monte Carlo in Europe, and San Francisco and Louisville in the US.
According to the US magazine, Cam Ranh Bay is where one can find a "lifetime fascination" in the deep waters, adding that luxury facilities such as a top-tier golf course and beachfront resorts should be part of the travel package to the Bay.
