Eclipsed by other Asian countries for decades, Vietnam finally is getting its moment. Forbes said that pho is always flavorful, the Buddhist pagodas remain breathtaking and the festivals continue to be vibrant. But the magazine adds on some elevated experiences: Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An’s new spa services (Visiting Masters and Mindful Moments initiatives); InterContinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort’s basket boat piloting and lantern-making lessons; and Pullman Da Nang Beach Resort’s unique coffee-making class.
Vietnam aims to receive about 18 million foreign visitors and carter to 85 million domestic ones in 2019, and earn more than VND700 trillion (US$30.2 billion) from tourism, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
