Vietnam has seen an influx of tourists within the last couple of years exploring more than just the major cities and the beautiful Delta. Many tourists are exploring the other locations such as the red sand dunes of the coastal village Mui Ne which was once inhabited and where previously there was no large property or resort. Mui Ne now hosts the likes of Anantara Mui Ne Resort.

The tourism sector in Vietnam keeps growing with 12.9 million visitors in 2017 alone, which amounts up to a whopping 29.1 percent rise from 2016.
