Vietnam tour - A wonderful day in the amazing city of Ho Chi Minh

Fasten your seatbelts as Ho Chi Minh is a city on the move. From the zooming motorbikes that pass you by, start your Vietnam tour to the buzzing streets of people, markets, restaurants, ancient temples and skyscrapers. Ho Chi Minh City remains one vibrant city filled with both old and not-so-old charms. “For me, this was one of my luckiest days, simply because I was in Ho Chi Minh City, meeting the kind Vietnamese people and enjoying life with them”, from mind if tourism international travel in Vietnam.

I arrived yesterday on December 16 to attend the ITE HCMC 2013, now in its ninth year. My flight was with Emirates on a Boing 777-200 from Dubai, and the flight was only around six hours. I was granted a visa on arrival, and I checked in to the Renaissance Riverside Hotel - a very nice luxury hotel. I went walking around and had a light dinner of shrimp soup, which was very tasty, and if you can imagine, was less than US$5. I also bought a Marlboro cigarette for US$1 (by the way, US$1 is around the equivalent of 25,000 Vietnamese Dong).



For a few years, Vietnam was on my agenda to visit as I heard a lot about its wonders and beauties. I have seen many films and promotions but being here with the Vietnamese people is something really wonderfully different – Vietnam travel

I started one morning at the Rex Hotel one of famousness at Vietnam hotel. where we attended the first ACMECS Ministerial Conference. The ACMECS is a joint effort between five countries - Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia. The idea is to join efforts to promote their countries as one destination, and to cooperate and work together to present their countries to the world as culture, heritage, MICE, and leisure destinations. The meeting was chaired by H.E. Mr. Hoang Tuan Anh, Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of the socialist republic of Vietnam.

During the press conference, H.E. Mr. Hoang confirmed that more than 37 million international visitors visited the five countries, including about 6 million intra-regional visitors. H.E. added that the five countries are looking to promote the images of "Five Countries – One Destination." This is I believe true, as I have visited four of the countries - Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and now Vietnam - and I really felt that I was in different amazing cities. What most impressed me during the visits was the kindness of the people of these countries. They are just wonderful people who look to make you enjoy your visit. The culture, heritage, and people, are just wonderful, and this all makes visitors really happy from Vietnam tour.

Following, we moved to an exciting event - the 2nd Lower Mekong Tourism Cities. The idea behind this event was to hear about the cooperation between the five capitals in the ACMECS countries, and to support and cooperate together to offer their best services and facilities for tourists the night ended with a wonderful and amazing Opening Ceremony which was attended by ministers, exhibitors, and hosted buyers. The food was so delicious, with many dishes from the region on offer, accompanied by traditional dances on stage – all in all a very good night

Finally, I would again would like to say what a lucky person I am to find myself here in Ho Chi Minh City with these wonderful people. I have visited 70 countries so far in my travels, and Vietnam remains one of the best destinations. I will continue to explore and experience its wonders to report back about in future articles. - Vietnamfittour.
