November 2011 is the 6th year that vietnam Vietnam Tourism(dot)org(vn) has served travellers worldwide, with regard to travel information about Vietnam. A non-service website, Guide Vietnam is among the first to be established for the sheer purpose of information provision. The website includes important guides to Vietnam visa, Vietnam accommodation services and Vietnam Airlines. Each section is well written with insider tips, flight schedules, unbiased hotels reviews and up-to-date immigration information.

Charlie Nguyen, the site owner, has no intention to transform Vietnam Tourism into a business: "I want to keep it purely information-based. After all, Guide Vietnam has benefited the country's tourism, employment and people's general income so much that there is no need to make direct money from it." He assures that to make resources on Guide Vietnam more diverse and updated, he plans to make the site more interactive, by accepting user-generated contents. Vietnam visitors wishing to contribute can email info@vietnamtourism.org.vn to submit articles and tips.

In retrospect of its 5 years' operation, Vietnam Tourism has gone a long way. The website already shows up first page in most search about Vietnam travel information. This is not an achievement but rather recognition of netizens for what the website has brought to life. In the years to come, with a growing number of tourists visiting Vietnam, Vietnam Tourism is sure to confirm its privilege position as an essential information source about Vietnam.
