October 6, 2021474 Views

Vietnam is planning from December to reopen key tourist destinations to vaccinated visitors from countries deemed a low COVID-19 risk, the government said on Wednesday, ahead of a full resumption targeted for June next year. Vietnam imposed tight border controls at the start of the pandemic in an effort to keep out COVID-19, with some initial success, but that harmed its burgeoning tourism sector, which typically accounts for about 10% of gross domestic product.

Vietnam has pushed back a plan to re-open the resort island of Phu Quoc to foreign tourists until November, after failing to meet targets for inoculating residents due to insufficient vaccine supplies, state media reported. The Southeast Asian nation, which is currently shut to all visitors apart from returning citizens and investors, has been struggling to speed up inoculations to help contain a spike in COVID-19 cases driven by the Delta variant in recent months.

Vietnam plans to reopen the beach-fringed island of Phu Quoc to foreign tourists from next month, authorities said, as the country looks at ways to revive an economy suffering from extended lockdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic.

बेन गियोक दुकथेन दरअसल चीन व वियतनाम के बीच की अंतरराष्ट्रीय सीमा पर बहने वाली गुईचुन नदी पर दो झरनों का सामूहिक नाम है। राजधानी हनोई से 272 किलोमीटर दूर यह झरना गाओपिंग प्रांत में दाक्सिन काउंटी की कार्स्ट पहाड़ियों में स्थित है। निर्विवाद रूप से यह झरना वियतनाम की सबसे प्रभावशाली प्राकृतिक झलक देता है। झरना है तो महज 30 मीटर ऊंचा लेकिन इसका पाट 300 मीटर चौड़ा है। गहरे नीले पानी वाली गुईचुन नदी बिलकुल एक पेंटिंग सरीखा नजारा पेश करती हुई धान के खेतों और लाइमस्टोन पहाड़ियों से घिरे बांस के झुरमुटों के बीच से होकर निकलती है। ये झरने रहे तो हमेशा से होंगे लेकिन इनकी लोकप्रियता हाल में बढ़ी जब यहां की तस्वीरें व वीडियो तमाम जरियों से देश-दुनिया के लोगों के सामने पहुंचीं। हालांकि इस इलाके में सड़क संपर्क और सार्वजनिक परिवहन की स्थिति में सुधार होने के बावजूद बेन गियोक को अब भी लीक से हटकर व...

ट्रेनों में सफर मात्र किसी दूसरे स्थान पर जाने के लिए नहीं बल्कि सफर का लुत्फ उठाने के लिए भी किया जाता है। ऐसे ही लुत्फ के सफर के सिलसिले में इस बार हम चल रहे हैं दक्षिण-पूर्व एशियाई देशों की ओर। पिछली बार हमने जिक्र किया था ऐतिहासिक ओरिएंट एक्सप्रेस का। इस बार हम बात कर रहे हैं उसी ट्रेन की एशियाई अनुकृति का। दरअसल इस ट्रेन का संचालन भी वेनिस-सिंप्लॉन ओरिएंट एक्सप्रेस का परिचालन करने वाली कंपनी ही कर रही है। थाईलैंड, सिंगापुर और मलेशिया में चलती है ईस्टर्न एंड ओरिएंट एक्सप्रेस। एशिया में भारत की ‘पैलेस आन व्हील्स’ के बाद शाही ट्रेन यात्राओं में ईस्टर्न एंड ओरिएंट एक्सप्रेस का ही नाम है। इस ट्रेन ने अपना पहला सफर बैंकाक से सिंगापुर तक साल 1993 में तय किया था। यह ट्रेन एक बार में 132 सैलानियों को करीब 2,030 किलोमीटर तक का सफर तय करती है। यह ट्रेन परंपरा व आधुनिकता का रोमांचक सफर कर...

I had read many times and at many places that the land journeys in Vietnam are among the best ones in the world and worth experiencing in a lifetime. This could be a big catch for a wanderer like me and it surely had ignited an urge in me to go and explore this land lying south of China. Yes, the name Vietnam itself means the South Land, which boasts of beautiful landscapes, smiling people, and varied culture and lifestyles across its vast north-south expanse; it also boasts of the natural wonders and World Heritage sites such as Ha Long Bay in the north, and a vast network of underground tunnels in the south that speaks volumes about the courage and ingenuity of local peasants in the war against American indulgence in their country. And after letting all these fact brew in my mind for...
