It can be seen that over the years, the charming beauty of its unique identity has helped Vietnam rise to a high position in the list of favorite destinations for tourists who love to explore. In 2024, Vietnam welcomed nearly 18 million international visitors and this number is still increasing every year as tourists tend to choose Vietnam to experience the mysteries, unique traditional culture, beautiful, pristine natural landscapes...

In particular, the continuous opening of new flight routes also helps connect international tourists to new lands of Vietnam more easily and conveniently.

According to experts from Condé Nast Traveller magazine, it is the community spirit that is the outstanding feature that attracts tourists to Vietnam, from urban areas with street vendors, morning exercise groups or roadside barber shops, to the coziness in rustic homestays in remote villages...

Most notably, a trip to Vietnam would not be complete without experiencing the spectacular mountain passes in the legendary Ha Giang (now Tuyen Quang province) with winding roads and spectacular and impressive natural scenery. However, visitors do not only come to experience and admire the beautiful scenery here, what really remains in their memories is the connection and affection of the friendly and hospitable local people.
