Vietnam is our Destination of the Year, and for good reason. While tourism continues to grow, much of the country remains a hidden gem, from tranquil coastlines to highland towns few outsiders ever see. There’s an incredible amount to explore that most people don’t even know exists.

Yet, this unparalleled beauty comes with a significant challenge: widespread plastic waste. This is why we’ve made it our mission to shine a spotlight on Vietnam in our guides.

We want you to uncover its authentic charm and, through your mindful travel, become an active part of igniting positive change among both tourists and locals alike.
