Tourism of Mekong Delta, Vietnam

The Mekong Delta of Vietnam is delimited by the tributaries of the Mekong River. This area, which is criss-crossed by a dense network of canals, is fertile and excellent for the cultivation of rice and growing fruit trees.

The sun shines all year round in the Mekong Delta. There is no winter and there are no storms. However, every year between August and October, the water of the Mekong River rises flooding the delta.

In this territory, there is the Thap Muoi Stock Garden, the U Minh Forest, and the salt forests of mangroves that had not yet been exploited only a decade ago. There are also immense fruit orchards; the most impressive of which are located on the islands in the river. The Mekong River Delta is much appreciated by those interested in ecological tourism.

As for the local inhabitants of the Mekong Delta, are spontaneous, sincere, straightforward, and hospitable. To enjoy this whole cultural experience, visitors can attend performances of traditional Cai Luong theatre, that can be seen in this area.

We have Joined the CBT Vietnam Team!

I am still reeling in the idea that I am able to join this amazing project and team. The new members of the May departure to Vietnam have been selected! We all worked very hard through our application and interview process and the efforts have paid off.

Four were selected to travel to Hanoi and one was selected to be the back up but more importantly a member of the team on the home front. Maggie and Emily are in the Outdoor Rec program and Hedieh, Sabrina and I are in the Tourism Management program.

Our first meeting was on Thursday and it was an opportunity for me to meet everyone. I had not met any of the girls prior to the interview process and now we all get to work and experience this journey together.  We met with Chris and Stephanie and after a quick set of introductions, we jumped head first into the project.

We have been given homework over winter break, which is not something any of us mind, as we are beyond excited to start. Readings, Bio writing and figuring out social media, HTML codes and google+ are just the beginning. As a non-twitter conformer, it may be time to join the dark side and learn this growing trend.

This winter break is going to be the first step in the countless hours of preparation for us prior to departure in May.

There might be some exciting news to follow in the New Year regarding our trip, make sure to keep up to date with the newest news and blogs that we will be posting!

One semester left sitting between us and an airplane traveling over the Pacific!
