The recent touchdown of the first
American commercial plane into Vietnam since the Vietnam War has brought that country into the minds of Americans
in a new light as a potential tourist destination. USA Today has a great
article on the growing
tourism boom there. Despite being run by a communist regime, an amazing luxury travel scene is forming in Vietnam
centered around upper end resorts and the country’s exotic culture. Travelers, at least according to this story, feel
like the air of the country is not too repressive and the people amazingly friendly.
