About Vietnam

Vietnam is a promising and constantly developing tourist destination in South-East Asia. The country attracts millions of travellers with its exotica, relatively cheap tours, quality beach holidays and infrastructure developed at an acceptable level. Tourism in Vietnam began to develop actively around the end of the 1990s. Almost all of the first decade of the 2000s the main share of travellers were Chinese, and only a small percentage of guests from Europe, America and other continents.

The territory of the country stretches along the Pacific coast for about 2000 kilometres. It is conditionally divided into North, Central and South Vietnam. Each of these parts has sea resorts with beautiful beaches, quality hotels and interesting sights.
