Travel to Vietnam December 14th, 2009
Vietnam is now stirring work on its tourism sector. In fact, countries that
established late Ho Chi Minh was, making tourism as
belle of national income. The result has proved, with visits
tourists to the country continued to soar. What tips them, and how
impact on tourism Bali? The following reports Alit Bali Post reporter
Sumertha who had visited the country for a week at the invitation of
Ministry Budpar cooperate with BTB (Bali Tourism Board).
After a round number of places in Vietnam a few days, no
a lot of interest from the country. Even if you’re honest, Bali has
many advantages compared to objects that are sold in Vietnam. But reality
said another. Vietnam it is now flooded with tourists and business people from
various parts of the world, including Indonesia itself.
So what attracts so many tourists and business activities
poured into the country and the former French colony that America? According to the Consul General of Indonesia
in Vietnam Wayan Jaya Susila, actually not much interesting and beautiful objects in the
country. Tourism is actually selling the land market objects, river
slightly turbid and legacy of the war. The beauty of nature”is still far less
in Bali,”he firmly Petiga birth, Marga, Tabanan who had two years
This is more in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese government, he added, is very charming and intelligent manage potential
owned. Although not so beautiful, but everything is packaged well and beautifully.
Not only that, facilities and infrastructure optimally prepared. To
tourism, local government provides a budget to 13.2 billion dollars
USA. Incredible!
Potential that can be said not how it was transformed in such a way
thus become a major attraction. Take for example, the holes in the form of cave
community when the former defense against foreign troops, organized in such a
way. The road to the facility to the object in the middle of the forest which is located in Cu
Chi Tunnel, the set was so neat.
Aircraft, tanks and other war dead, was also collected in the Museum
War remnants, not far from Ho Chi Minh City, for sale to tourists.
For natural objects, wide Saigon River and turbid water, is also sold in
boating package over dinner. The Mekong delta is the center of agriculture,
the object of the visit is no less interesting.
Everything sold at cheaper prices, thus attracting visitors. Imagine”
city tour just sold for just 3 dollars,”added Jaya Susila, which
justified tour guide who escorted the group, Nguyen Tan Truc. Not until
there, the famous traditional market Market Thanth Ben also not free from
touch government. Large enough market and become one-stop shopping, the
now flooded with tourists both local and foreign.
Increased traffic, is also supported by the security system is excellent
and the various facilities provided local governments. Air Transportation
and sea port, also improved. Tourist arrivals, since arriving in
the airport has received friendly service from local officials. As a result, not
only tourists are arriving, also in business with offices
trade stands grandly in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s mascot.
Vietnam now be proud. Because, not only a booming tourist, also
greatly increased the business world. Economic growth reached 12 percent,
Chinese interpretation approach. Tourism is also very promising with
growth per year on average over 10 percent. Now foreign tourists
to Vietnam around 4.5 million people annually. Special to Ho Chi Minh City alone,
two million people.
They are mostly from Japan, Korea, Thailand and Europe, including the United States.
Tourists”Indonesia is still small. Most who come to do business,”
Susila Jaya added.
Then what is the impact of the rise of Vietnam tourism in particular for
Bali is also 80 percent of his breath hanging tourism? Some principals

No Comments HO CHI MINH CITY
Travel to Vietnam December 13th, 2009
Not many of us who visited Vietnam and recognize the new country to war in 1975 over this. Our knowledge of Uncle Ho’s country may be limited to the films made in Hollywood Vietnam War, starring Chuck Norris or Sylvester Stalone. The thought of entering a sensible country of socialism that was it scary.
That’s what I imagine during the trip from Jakarta-Singapore-Ho Chi Minh City, following the first flight with Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-300 owned by Garuda Indonesia. The shadow seemed close to reality as we landed on the runway International Airport, Tan Son Nhat, part of the building relics of the past still visible here and there.
But the shadow was dispersed, when he saw the airport rooms neat, clean and cool. The immigration officer greeted us warmly. “No visa, no visa for Indonesia,” the officer said with a friendly smile, the Vietnamese government in December and had just applied for visa-free policy of ASEAN. It takes time to check our passports, and they enter data into the computer.
Exit the immigration hall, on the set of goods, there is only one of the exchange would only accept exchange of foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar, the dong (Vietnamese currency) and not vice versa. Outside the airport, bustling atmosphere and similar Polonia airport in Medan. However, that was exactly it safe until we could not worried one bit. International airport Tan Son Nhat now receive flights from various parts of the world, especially from Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong.
On the way to town, we see that the streets are relatively clean, here and there is still installed signs former SEA Games. Even before Christmas, when it was, the city government put shelves fir tree-shaped pots containing ornamental plants. The scenery was beautiful and interesting, especially when considering a new city outside the war 25 years ago.
Ho Chi Minh City is very dense population of approximately 6 million inhabitants. Walking the streets of this city that feels it smells capitalists. Just imagine, outside advertising space seem big along the way that promotes all things-from consumer products such as beer until the state propaganda.
Our event on arrival in Ho Chi Minh City are having lunch at a restaurant in District No. 1, center of town and tourist area. This region is highly nuanced French accent. Old buildings of European architectural style is still very well preserved. Even the iconic is the number of buildings like the Cathedral of Nortedram the red brick (is said to imitate the original cathedral in Paris) or the post office building, and city hall. In some areas even found the parks with a large mahogany tree-large. Jakarta residents for us or the big cities in Indonesia, jealous to see the areas that are still intact. Compare this with the city area in Jakarta that have been destroyed and the helter-skelter is not maintained, so that its authenticity has not looked back.
The Vietnamese colonized by the French from 1867 until 1957. Saigon became the capital of the French occupation covering an area of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam in the 19th century. Saigon City is built like a model cities in France. The characteristics that still seems to present such a wide boulevard, buildings French architecture, the majority Catholic population. Even on the outskirts of the way many vendors who offer a delicious iced coffee. Saigon River which divides the city also provides the added nuance of this vibrant city.
