Why you should visit Viet Nam?

2 - Vietnam -  People
Everywhere you go in Vietnam, you will be welcomed by smiles and kindness from the locals. From the cities to the countryside, you will be greeted by happy faces.
 

3 - Vietnam – Cuisine
The spectrum of Vietnamese dishes is surprisingly refined and diverse for such a small country. Every city -- often each village -- has its own unique local specialties.
The cheapest place to encounter authentic Vietnamese cuisine is in a traditional open-air market. Here the most delicious single-dishes are served, the stalls mostly run by women, offer finely crafted delights passed down from generation to generation, mother to daughter.

4 - Vietnam – Safe 
Vietnam is generally a safe country for visitors, including lone women travellers. Despite the country’s association with a violent history, visitors today are pleasantly surprised at the warm and secure welcome they receive. As in any country there is some petty crime  – though it’s relatively small–scale and shouldn’t be a problem if you adopt normal precautions. Generally, the worst problem you will encounter is a pushy vendor.

5- Vietnam – Affordable
Vietnam has been a well-known destination among budget travellers for many years. Though prices are now climbing, it is still much cheaper than travelling on other continents. There is still something to suit every wallet: a 5 star resort in Da Nang will cost you an equivalent amount to a 3 star hotel near JFK airport. For the lower end of the market, there are plenty of hostels and guest-houses in every city. Food costs remain low and despite being cheap, street foods are among the best in the world. So even today in the big metropolitan areas like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, it is still possible to get by on just $15 a day!

6 - Vietnam – A Coffee Giant

Many are now familiar with the unique taste of Vietnamese coffee, a signature drink where the coffee is mixed with sweetened condensed milk. Enjoy a cup of black coffee (ca phe den) or iced coffee with condensed milk (ca phe sua da) and watch life go by on a corner of the street. Your coffee enjoyment will be part of your fulfilling experience in Vietnam that will never be forgetten.
Vietnam is now the second largest coffee producing nation in the world and the likelihood is that the instant coffee you drink at home originated in Vietnam.

7 - Vietnam –  Beaches

Vietnam had long been over-shadowed by near-neighbours namely Thailand, Malaysia and Bali as a destination for beach holidays in South East Asia. Now Vietnams time has come, a profusion of completely secluded luxury beach hotels and resorts often with private beachfronts and perfect peace and tranquillity has firmly secured Vietnam’s position as a foremost beach holiday destination of choice.

8 - Vietnam - Fast and easy entry

Vietnam is now a truly open country and welcomes travellers and business people alike. Getting a visa for Vietnam is a very straightforward process.
