Opening up began in the mid-80s and at the beginning of 2007, Vietnam became the 150th full member of the World Trade Organization.

A remarkable 32-year-journey that has reminded the world, the Vietnamese people are resilient, determined and proud. There's always a flip-side and they can also be stubborn, too proud to accept external influences and very traditional in thinking and practices. Being traditional is a positive factor for tourism, but a negative one when engaging with the modern, international business world.

Work by the Government of Vietnam isn't completed yet, the recent meeting between the prime minister and the Pope at the Vatican was one of the most significant events. It goes a long way to counter accusations, especially from the American conservative right, that Vietnam practices religious intolerance. If Vietnam is to be appointed as Asia's representative to the United Nations Security Council in 2008, the Vietnamese Government and people can be very proud.

My involvement with Vietnam began in 1994, when I first visited this mysterious country. Having lived and worked in Vietnam for the past five years,

I can say that I have a good understanding of the psyche. There are parts of Vietnam that will always remain a mystery to a foreigner, even if they've married a Vietnamese lady.

It's a country with which I have a love-hate relationship and reminds me of my early days in Hong Kong, the city where I was born and lived for 30 years. I'm not sure how long I'll live in Vietnam, but at least for the next 10 years.

The new slogan adopted by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) - 'Vietnam - The Hidden Charm' is very apt. During my travels all over Vietnam to look for locations to establish hotels, I've found that there are hidden charms in every part of the

country and in the people, one just has to find them.

Emerging onto the world stage hasn't been an easy task. It's been necessary to change attitudes and ways of doing things. Whilst some of these transformations have been successful, there's room for improvement. Vietnam will be judged now, on how it implements the requirements of the global trading club and how it presents itself to the international community.

The investment-protection guarantees required of WTO members and recent anti-foreign investment signals from Thailand will accelerate FDI flows away from other Southeast Asian countries toward Vietnam. Vietnam's comparatively cheap, but industrious, labour is also attractive.

Investment into tourism has been strong in the past and recent announcements by global players, such as Intercontinental and Kingdom, to establish their brand in Vietnam is further encouragement. There's no doubt that tourism could be a key economic driver, perhaps the most important driver.

Vietnam's tourism sector has attracted 190 foreign-invested projects with total registered capital of $4.64bil and the sector currently employs more than 234,000 people directly and 510,000 indirectly, according to official statistics. ]]> Others vietnamtravelmall http://forum.egypt.com/enforum/showthread.php?t=2276
