Vietnam is a rapidly expanding tourism destination in a competitive region. The country is growing in popularity as a beach holiday destination and could come to rival more established destinations such as Thailand. Extensive investments in transport and accommodation infrastructure are supporting growth while market liberalisation will improve the investment environment for foreign developers.
