Travel to Vietnam and Asia

Southeast Asia is one of the world's fastest rising regions. While a lot of news and digital ink have been devoted to the not so unexpected rise of China from poverty to a world economic powerhouse, there has been a quiet revolution happening in Southeast Asia. The implications are going to be huge since this corner of the world has lots of people and has a lot to offer the rest of the world. Composed of Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam travel, Thailand, Laos, Burma, Indonesia, Cambodia, Brunei, The Philippines, and Malaysia, Southeast Asia offers a lot of exciting economic possibilities for the rest of the world. It is a top source of manufactured goods, outsourced customer relations services, electronics, and raw materials. All told, this corner of the world has a huge young base of consumers and producers. Not surprisingly, many Western travelers have been checking out Southeast Asia and are quickly discovering the diverse attractions this super region offers.

From the massive Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia to Thailand's elephant parks and open river markets to Indonesia's ancient temples to Malaysia's breath-taking natural vistas, Southeast Asia offers a lot of exotic charms for the Western traveler. The challenge for the adventure-seeking traveler is to avoid the temptation to clump these destinations together. Many people develop an 'if you see one temple, you've seen them all' mentality that ruins the specific regional and local charms of many Southeast Asian attractions. This is especially true for Vietnam. If you go on vietnam tours, you will quickly realize that this country stands apart from its more popular neighbor Thailand. While Thailand's beaches and mountain trails are packed with tourists and its cities are congested, Vietnam offers a wholly different set of experiences. Thanks to its relatively tighter controls, Vietnam's nature destinations are less saturated. They are simpler and, well, more 'natural.' There is a simple elegance to many Vietnamese travel destinations like Nha Trang or Danang Beach. Even Vietnamese historical locations like Hue City or Hanoi have a largely unspoiled, uncluttered, and uncongested air to them compared to the many travel destinations in Thailand.

Spice up your itinerary
Due to it relatively unspoiled offerings, Vietnam offers great destinations you can use to either open or preface your Southeast Asian jaunt or close one. You can put vietnam tours either at the beginning of your Southeast Asian adventure or you can conclude your adventure with a trip to Vietnam. Either way, your vietnam tours will offer a relatively unspoiled, simple, elegant view of a country that has strong Chinese cultural influences. While Vietnam's historical attractions like the Cu Chi tunnels or Hue City and Hanoi pack a lot of history and culture, Vietnam is also no slouch when it comes to natural attractions like great beaches, beautiful vistas, and nature trails. You only need to consider Halong Bay and its 'out of this world' look to see how awesome Vietnam's travel destinations are. Halong Bay offers a whole coastline dotted with small green-topped islets that look like they are floating on the water.
