Vietnam and Cambodia are fast emerging as luxury travel destinations

US Travel group Virtuoso conducted a survey of its member agencies and found that Vietnam and Cambodia are the most popular destinations in Southeast Asia.

“With the new luxury hotels and world class golf courses having recently opened or set to open soon, and the luxury train journeys, exclusive cruises and upscale private tours, Vietnam is fast emerging as an exciting destination for the high-end traveler,” Mr Pham Ha said.

Ha says, gone are the days when travelers just want to be pampered, these days travelers want to be entertained and stimulated.

“Nowadays, luxury travel is about experiences, and it doesn’t need to be the preserve of the super-rich.

He added that traveling in style and comfort doesn’t necessarily have to break the bank either and that the world of luxury travel is a very accessible one. Upscale tours also offer “off the beaten track “ experiences and plenty of flexibility for all tours.

“Each day, tours are designed with flexibility to suit travelers personal interest, schedule and energy level. When it comes to luxury tours, the sky’s truly the limit.”

In Nha Trang, there is a huge increase in the development of high-end resorts between Long Beach and Cam Ranh Airport, another international golf course under construction along with Vietnam’s first Marina for yachts and luxury boats. All of this bodes well for promoting our little city as a truly international destination for the well-heeled traveler.
