This newspaper says: Vietnam and Thailand, Laos and Cambodia in Southeast Asia ranked ninth in the Top 10 destinations for Americans who are 55 years or older, according to Mr. Alan E. Lewis, Chairman of Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T), the leader in small groups on the road less traveled.
To explain this thesis is based on year-to-date bookings by O.A.T. travelers. More than 15,000 travelers have booked an adventure to one or more of these destinations in 2018. There have been 1,295 bookings to Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, or Cambodia.
Mr. Lewis said : “What these travelers share in common is the desire to be fully immersed in local life when traveling, by engaging with students and teachers in rural schools, sharing a meal with a family in their home, or spending the day with local people in their village so they can gain a first-hand understanding of the destination and, ultimately, get a better sense of the world we share.”
So, hopefully with this article, travel companies will have effective ways to attract more foreign tourists to Vietnam, contributing to enrich the economy of the country.
