On the show, fourteen talented content creators from six Asian countries embark on an exciting journey with unique culinary and travel experiences to discover the country and people of Việt Nam through dynamic destinations, including HCM City, Phú Quốc, Hạ Long and Hà Nội.

With this new concept, Let's Feast Vietnam promises to bring exciting, thrilling, and desirable entertainment moments to audiences.
The programme’s short video challenge has a total prize of up to VNĐ800 million, of which VNĐ500 million is the prize for the team with the most likes and VNĐ300 million is the prize for the audience's favourite on social networks.

“Let's Feast Vietnam brings a youthful and vibrant energy to the journey to discover the beauty of Việt Nam. Việt Nam has become the place where young people connect with all the excitement, passion for creativity, commitment and experience,” said Nguyễn Phương Hoa, Head of the International Cooperation Department - Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
“In addition to connecting Asian content creators, Meta is excited to be able to promote Việt Nam's culture, cuisine, and people through platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Audiences will experience an authentic Vietnam through Reels created by content creators throughout the program. Let's Feast Vietnam is both an entertaining reality show and a new and effective step to help attract curiosity and inspire international travellers to come to visit Việt Nam,” said Khôi Lê, Country Director of Meta in Việt Nam.
With 10 episodes, Let’s Feast Vietnam will broadcast every Tuesday and Wednesday on Netflix Asia and DANET platforms from August 15 to August 29, 2023.
