Vietnam, a country of 88 million people, attracted six million visitors in 2011 and ranked as 14th most competitive among Asia Pacific countries. The largest number of travellers to Vietnam came from China, followed by South Korea, Japan, and then the US. Going by the inquiries we get, Vietnam is gaining the interest of Europeans too.
The small country has a lot to offer to the traveller who is out to explore the rich history and culture as well as the unique natural beauty and landscapes. It is easily observed that Modesty and humility are emphasized in the culture of the Vietnamese and deeply ingrained into their natural behaviour. A 4000 years old civilization, which myths say are descendants of an angel and a dragon, the Vietnamese are very proud of their rich heritage.
Though
there are attractions to see all over this beautiful country, there are certain
parts which become quite warm for comfort except in October and November. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city’s account for a large number of tourist
visits. From the ancient to the most modern, Vietnam has a range of sights to
showcase to the international traveller. When you visit Vietnam ,
expect to see a UN heritage site with some wonders which are up to 500 million
years old and the same day visit one of the most modern integrated township
that would literally fulfil all your earthly leisure desires.
It is no surprise
that Vietnam is fast emerging as a country which provides top of the line spa
and wellness services because the Vietnamese practiced traditional therapies in
homes and village communities long before the new wave of tourism came about.

known brands in the field of spa and wellness experience. Many of the spa
resorts in Vietnam have won repeated accolades from Industry associations as
well as got featured in the Gold

designed by the Gurus of Golf course design. Golfers swear by the UltimateGolf package in Vietnam. In addition, wetland tourism is also
emerging as the new types of tourism in Vietnam due to its location and large
number of lakes & beaches etc..
