According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia's oldest daily newspaper, Vietnam is one of 12 destinations for travelers who enjoy extended vacations focused on relaxation and wellness.
At accommodations in Vietnam, tourists are encouraged to participate in yoga classes, cycling, hiking, and health and wellness treatments, including rejuvenation and detoxification using organic therapies. Additionally, authentic experiences such as cooking classes taught by locals are popular with foreign visitors, allowing them to prepare dishes using natural ingredients sourced directly from the region.

In coastal areas like Phu Quoc Island, alongside moments of relaxation, there are also many fun and exciting experiences. Similarly, cruises in Lan Ha Bay are replacing and reducing the environmental pressure on the already familiar Ha Long Bay.
Modern life makes people increasingly want to slow down. More than 10 years ago, slow travel was a trend. But now, with sustainability being prioritized in travel experiences, slow travel is more of a necessity than a fad.

Slow travel allows us time to better understand destinations, connect with locals, and contribute more to the local economy. Especially after the world faced pandemics and climate change, with tourist destinations becoming increasingly overcrowded, slow travel is even more relevant.
Besides Vietnam, other examples of slow-paced living experiences around the world include: taking a river cruise in Europe and exploring small villages; learning about the culture and living at a slower pace in Hawaii or New Zealand; or visiting famous pilgrimage sites like the Santiago de Compostela Trail in Spain.
Regarding this emerging travel trend, Brian Johnson, a British travel expert, shared: "More and more travelers are asking themselves what they want from a holiday. How to truly understand the place they've visited. The answer is to slow down. By slowing down, we'll be less disturbed, face fewer hardships, and enjoy the rest of a truly meaningful trip."
