Vietnam has unveiled a diverse array of products poised for spotlight
in the coming year. During a media briefing at the ASEAN Tourism Forum
(ATF) 2024 in Vientiane, Nguyen Quy Phuong, director of the Tourism
Marketing Division of Vietnam National Authority of Tourism (VNAT)
highlighted culinary tourism as “a key new product”, from savouring
local delicacies to the debut of the first Michelin guide in Vietnam.
Under the banners of ‘Vietnam Timeless Charm’ and ‘Live Fully in
Vietnam’, VNAT outlined four key segments: beaches and islands; nature
experiences amid the country’s mountains in the north, the forests
around Da Lat, or the Mekong Delta; cultural immersion featuring
heritage sites and museums, among others; and city breaks with a host of
activities and accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

Beyond this, adventure tourism – from scuba diving to spelunking –
and a greater focus on health and wellness introduce a multitude of new
products in those fields. Vietnam’s rich golfing offerings, marked by
PGA- recognised courses designed by champions like Nick Faldo, adds to
the country’s allure.
VNAT underlined Vietnam’s improved infrastructure with over 600 4-
and 5-star hotels, including international brands like Melia and
Marriott, accounting for over 113,000 keys.
