Abercrombie and Kent received such positive guest feedback about going off the beaten path to explore the rural countryside and meet local hill tribes of Mai Chau, that it made sense to introduce a Luxury Small Group Journey across the country.
Abercrombie and Kent has introduced the new itineraries that include Vietnam, a nation revealed. The tour will bring travelers to Vietnam’s two largest cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and offer them a glimpse into the traditional and modern with visits on a 12-day trip. The journey also includes lesser-known destinations in Ha Long Bay, Mai Chau by bicycle, Hue’s Imperial Citadel, and more.
The number of foreign tourists to Vietnam in the first half of 2018 surged 27.2% year-on-year to 7.89 million, according to General Statistics Office.
Arrivals by air, road, and sea in the reviewed period recorded annual increases of 22.2%, 63.7% and 1.7%, respectively while growth was also seen in the numbers of visitors from all five continents. The results were attributed to efforts taken by the tourism sector, especially efforts to promote Vietnam’s tourism abroad.
From September 25 to October 7, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism plans to hold tourism promotion activities in France, Spain, Italy and Germany in order to attract more tourists from these markets.
