Vietnam among best destinations that travelers look for immersive experiences
Abercrombie and Kent, a world`s foremost luxury travel company has led to a number of new itineraries for the tour operator for 2018 and next year.
Vietnam has been selected as one of the best destination that Abercrombie and Kent's travelers are looking for the luxury of insider access and for unique experiences.
“Vietnam has attracted strong interest among tailor-made family journeys of Abercrombie and Kent,” Travel Pulse wrote.
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.
