Is Vietnam a safe place to travel?

According to the most recent Global Law and Order Index, Vietnam is the most tranquil country in Asia and the seventh safest country globally, drawing tourists this year.  According to the travel magazine Travel Off Path, safety is the most important issue for Americans while traveling abroad, especially in the current situation, where conflicts appear to be popping out everywhere and security is deteriorating in some areas. In recent years, political instability and armed conflicts have begun to occur in many Asian tourist destinations. However, Travel Off Path argues that Vietnam is a relatively stable and safe tourist destination.

Experts predict that when barriers due to COVID-19 are wholly lifted, 2024 will cause Asian tourism to recover strongly. Western tourists are returning to the continent in droves, with warm grins at all destinations. Tourist areas will certainly experience record growth in the coming months. In surveys by other famous travel magazines such as Telegraph, Dailystar, and Roughguides, Vietnam is consistently among the safest destinations. That’s why the number of international tourists coming to Vietnam yearly is still increasing steadily and shows no signs of slowing down. Besides Vietnam, many countries are honored to appear on this list, typically: Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, etc. So the question: “Is Vietnam a safe place to travel?” is not difficult to answer.

Political stability

Political decisions have a significant impact on a country’s safety. Political upheavals are common in multi-party democracies. The protests will produce disorder on the streets, resulting in casualties and disrupting many people’s lives, including tourists. Vietnam has only one major party: the Communist Party of Vietnam. Our country has made numerous great achievements under the leadership of the Party. Because protests are rare, Vietnam is a safe place for all travelers.

A typical example is that just a few years ago, Thailand made many tourists panic when a wave of protests demanding the overthrow of the Government took place firmly in this country. Hundreds of tourists are in a deadlock because the airports have been blocked, they cannot return home, and their finances are exhausted. On the other hand, tourist attractions and shopping centers are also in a state of chaos, and going out can cause injury to tourists. This incident terrified thousands of tourists visiting Thailand at the time. ourists in a country with stable politics, such as Vietnam, can freely enjoy themselves and buy without fear of political turmoil.

There is no terrorism

Terrorism is always a terrifying obsession for all countries in the world. Terrorist strikes in the United States, Pakistan, and Afghanistan have instilled fear in humanity. The September 11 terrorist assaults will be remembered for all time. Tourists will find it difficult to travel comfortably in nations where terrorism is prevalent. You can become a victim of terrorism, massacre, hostage-taking, etc.

Meanwhile, in Vietnam for thousands of years, there has never been a single terrorist attack. Even when there are significant political events or visits by Presidents of other countries, security order in Vietnam is always 100% guaranteed. Therefore, tourists can travel freely without worrying about security issues. This is also one of the major reasons why Vietnam has risen to the top of the list of safe locations in the globe.
