  • Despite Tragic War Events, Vietnam Has for Years Been and Still Is, an Attractive Destination for Backpackers and Tourists
    Despite tragic war events, Vietnam has for years been and still is, an attractive destination for backpackers and tourists. Vietnam is intriguing in so many ways, but my top reason is the food and the culture. So, where in earth is Vietnam? Vietnam shares borders with China in the north, Laos and Cambodia to the east. You can easily visit Vietnam from Laos and Cambodia through land crossings (PS: Check Vietnam visa rules). I (the editor) haven't been to Vietnam myself, but my cousin and friends have been there. All tips and advice on Vietnam are theirs! • Did you know that Vietnam is one of the few Communist states in the World, along with Laos, Cuba, China and North Korea? Almost 90 million people live in Vietnam. The capital is Hanoi and the largest city is Ho Chi Minh City (or Saigon). • Did you know that Nguyen is the most common family name in Vietnam? About 40% of the population is named Nguyen, but it feels more like 80%. Almost everybody I met in Vietnam, had Nguyen as their last name. In Norway, every Vietnamese I know has Nguyen as their last name. I bet you know someone too. • Did you know that Vietnam is the world's top exporter of rice (as of September 2012) with 4,6 million tones shipped overseas? India ranks as second best and Thailand as third. • Did you know that Halong Bay in north Vietnam comprises of nearly 2000 limestone islands? • Did you know that Vietnamese people eat more dried noodles than any other country in Asia, even Japan? • Did you know that Vietnamese New Year is called Tet? It's the most important festival in Vietnam.

Their culture is a complex adaptation of Chinese, Japanese, French and American colonial influences. In 938 AD, the Vietnamese developed a trade system to exchange animal skins, ivory and tropical goods for Chinese scrolls on administration, philosophy and literature. The body of their first president Ho Chi Minh (Uncle Ho) was embalmed, and is on display in a mausoleum. Their flag consists of a golden star with five points to represent farmers, workers, intellectuals, youth, and soldiers. The red background pays tribute to the bloodshed during the wars. © Copyright [email protected] 2019. All Rights Reserved 1 Armchair Travel _ Destination - Vietnam _ The national flag of Vietnam.

My name is Laurent Theodore. It is 17 years that I work for Heineken, started in Heineken France some time ago, and I had different postings in mature and emerging markets, Russia, the US, Congo - Congo Brazzaville, and now Vietnam for the last nearly two years. So it's my pleasure to take you through the commercial agenda of VBL in Vietnam. So the presentation will cover the consumers - some evolutions in the Vietnamese market landscape, and obviously the commercial strategy that we deploy within VBL. The Vietnamese markets, as you can see on this picture - it's very clear - the Vietnamese market is not one single consumer market; you have really different types of consumers. On the left side, you have traditional Vietnam in Mekong Delta, 50km south of Ho Chi Minh City. But also what you have on the right side, you have a picture from Ho Chi Minh City - vibrant, sophisticated consumers - modern. And this picture could have been taken indeed in any parts of big urban centres in the world. So this is Vietnam, a country of polarising and interesting consumer trends happening in this market.
