Vietnam
With its rich cultural heritage, turbulent history, and stunning natural beauty, without question Vietnam should be considered for any avid explorer’s wanderlist. Considering Vietnam just opened to tourism in the 1990’s the tourism infrastructure is fairly sophisticated. From lush forests and pristine beaches to the emerging megacity of Ho Chi Minh, from mighty river deltas to tranquil villages tending rice fields, there’s a remarkable wealth of diversity here. Timeworn temples and bright colorful pagodas are scattered throughout Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi.
Vietnam’s world-famous cuisine delights visitors with its unique blend of home-grown staples French influences.

MoBay is home to some of the island’s most scenic beaches. At the popular Doctor’s Cave Beach you’ll find scores of visitors enjoying the warm waters. Another popular seaside retreat is Cornwall Beach.
Animal lovers can head south to Dolphin Cove in Lucea, Hanover, just 40 minutes outside of MoBay. This marine attraction offers close encounters with dolphins and other aquatic creatures.
History and culture buffs should visit the Bellefield Great House and Gardens, one of the oldest sugar plantations in Jamaica.
