Vietnam's bustling cities, friendly people
and overwhelming beauty of nature will leave an enduring impression on
visitors. During the last few years the infrastructure has improved and
Viet Nam is now really a first - class destination. Travelers in Viet
Nam will enjoy good service and hospitality in an environment much less
affected by the ravages of long - term mass tourism.
Bordered by China, Laos and Cambodia, Viet Nam is a harmony of diverse
cultures and ethnic groups in various beautiful landscapes.
The northern region combines a beautiful rural scenery and strong traditional
roots was shown evidently in the many pagodas and continuing practice
of old trades in Hanoi's Ancient Quarter.
Central Viet Nam offers an insight into Vietnam's rich historical past
which can be seen in Hue, the former imperial capital, in Da Nang, home
to the ancient Cham civilization and in Hoi An, one of the country's oldest
towns.
The development of modern Viet Nam can be seen in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly
"Sai Gon", as it is still commonly known, where entrepreneurial
zeal fuels the economy and offers a realistic depiction of the new Viet
Nam.
Vietnam's tourism infrastructure continues developing and today visitors
are offered comfortable travel options and international standard accommodation.
Within the past year, we have witnessed a noticeable reduction in hotel
rates along with an increased selection of international standard hotel
ranging from 3 to 5 - star deluxe properties. Viet Nam now also boasts
of 4 and 5-star resort properties dotted along the unspoiled coastline
where visitors can enjoy beautiful tropical weather and warm water on
stretches of white - powder sand beaches.
With Da Nang as the third international gateway, visitors can now fly
directly from Bangkok or Hong Kong to the central region and explore its
fascinating cultural sites or relax on China Beach. A new hydrofoil service
between Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh is expected to operate before
the end of the year reconnecting two old capitals of Indochina.
Today, Viet Nam is better known as an attractive tourist destination
in Southeast Asia. In Viet Nam, visitors will have an authentic cultural
experience while enjoying world class service and comfort.
