Vietnam is home to numerous attractions such as ancient architecture, UNESCO world heritage sites, high mountains, beautifulwaterfalls, sunny beaches and a cluster of wonderful places. It comes across as a country full of surprises. However, not muchwas known about it so far.Our pages of “About Vietnam” are written with a hope that we will help you understand more about our friendly people, richculture and beautiful landscape. It will also help you find the country as “a home away from home” by narrowing the gap of cultureand customs between yourself and the local people that you’ll encounter in your holiday.Vietnam embarked on the Doi Moi (Renovation) in 1986. Since then, the country has seen dramatic changes, first and foremost inthe economic thinking. The centrally-planned economy was replaced by the socialist-oriented market economy; nationalindustrialisation and modernisation were initiated together with the policy of multilateralisation and diversification of externaleconomic relations, openness and international integration. The Doi Moi helped Vietnam rapidly escape hunger and poverty andlay the initial foundation for an industrialised economy, as well as maintaining a high growth rate and a relatively equal society.Vietnam is now the world’s largest robust coffee, cashew nuts and pepper exporter, and the second largest rice exporter worldwide.Today Vietnam is also an outstanding travel destination. It is considered as a safe place in the world that is as yet untouched byterrorism and tsunami. Vietnam has lured more and more international arrivals. In 2005, Vietnam welcomed four million arrivalsand it is expected that the international arrivals will be eight millions in 2010. The development of tourism industry in Vietnambrings jobs to more than 234,000 people directly and an additional 510,000 indirectly in associated business and industries.With your help, we hope that our dream of being the top ten major tourist destinations in the world will come true in the next tenyears.We are always opened to your ideas to make our pages of “About Vietnam” more useful to people who are going to travel toVietnam or just interested in our people and culture.
