bedankt voor de informatie hopelijk is alles voorbij tegen begin januari 2026
Thanks for the information provided. We are arriving to Hanoi on 3 December, visiting Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hué and Ho Chi Minh. Could you tell me if it is safe to go there? And is it possible to visit touristic sites in Hoi An and Hué?
Many thanks in advance
Thanks so much for all the detailed information you are providing here! I hope everyone will be safe and sound. We have a flight booked for Nov 8, 2025 to fly to Hue and stay there for two days and then to travel to Hoi An. I will be watching your updates closely to see if it is even a good idea to go to the central Vietnam now. Let’s see if the sights and the local business like hotels and restaurants will be even open considering the recent floods and the new upcoming threat. Thank you again and fingers crossed all goes well.
