A new travel checklist by the New York Times listed Viet Nam among 20 places that 20-year-old travellers should visit.
The newspaper mentions three destinations in particular: Ha Long Bay and the ancient cities of Hoi An and Hue. All three places are among the greenest tourist destinations in Viet Nam and are much loved by both local and foreign visitors.
The article reccomends Viet Nam as a country rich in cuisine, culture and natural beauty but with low prices.
Viet Nam attracted 7.3 million foreign visitors in the first nine months of this year, up 25 percent compared with last year.
The New York Times list also included Amsterdam, Berlin, Budapest, Cuba, Montreal, New Orleans, Oaxaca in Mexico, Patagonia in Argentina and Prague.
