Vietnam is a new and exotic
destination for tourists to discover from all over the world. As
an untouched land with diversified geography,
Vietnam, a new land
of tourism with age-old traditions and culture, newly built
resorts and hotels, provides a great variety of interesting tours
to tourists. Vietnam can offer ideal tour packages, incentive
trips and perfect meeting places. Vietnam is a long S-shaped
country bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the Eastern side and
Truong Son chain of mountains covered with tropical forest on the
West side. That is why visitors are amazed with fascinating
entertainment, beautiful beaches, tropical landscapes, towering
buildings, colorful royal palaces, kings' tombs and folk culture.
Vietnam is a Socialist Republic State with more than 61 provinces
and 54 ethnic groups with different cultures and languages. Its
more than 4,000-year civilization turns it to be a cradle of human
beings in Asia. Both ends of the country are two big river deltas,
namely the Red River Delta and the Mekong Delta, full of rice and
tropical fruits. Hanoi in the North is the ancient and present
capital and Ho Chi Minh City in the South is the biggest economic
and cultural city of the country. Economically, agriculture still
dominates the country and Vietnam has become one of the leading
rice exporters in the world since 1980s.

booming cities behind, get on the tour bus and drive to the
countryside where visitors can smell the rice paddies, taste sweet
fresh fruits and delicious local delicacies and talk to most
simple-minded people. Or they can stretch themselves on a white
sandy beach, listening to the waves from the emerald sea. They
will feel completely relaxed as if all of their worries have
drifted away.
Vietnam is famous for its firm
renovation. The whole country is moving quickly towards a bright
future thanks to the new "open door" policy. Visitors can easily
find newly-established buildings, smiling faces, women in long
gorgeous traditional Ao Dai everywhere, colorful outfits,
high-rises, nonstop streams of cars and motorcycles, markets full
of local and foreign made commodities, offices and factories with
modern technology.
The booming economy boosts the
development of other fields such as culture, education and
tourism. The recent years have witnessed a lot of changes. The
whole country is changing rapidly, but still preserves unpolluted
environment, primitive forests, etc., which always make Vietnam an
exotic destination and an ideal country for ecotourism. |
