Why Vietnam Is One of Asia's Smartest Holiday Choices

Vietnam stands out because it offers balance — something many long-haul destinations are struggling to maintain.

Compared to Thailand, Vietnam feels calmer and less crowded. Compared to Japan or Singapore, it offers greater value and a more relaxed pace. And unlike destinations that focus on a single experience, Vietnam blends culture, scenery, cuisine and coastline into one coherent journey.

For UK travellers aged 45+, this balance matters. Travel days are shorter, internal flights are straightforward, and itineraries flow naturally from north to south or coast to countryside. Vietnam also offers excellent hospitality standards, making it suitable for first-time visitors to Asia as well as seasoned travellers.

From a practical perspective, Vietnam is also reassuring. British citizens benefit from clear entry requirements, a strong tourism infrastructure and improving healthcare access in major centres. Many travellers ask, &quotIs Vietnam safe for older travellers?&quot — the answer is yes, particularly when travelling on a well-planned itinerary with local support.

Vietnam doesn't demand that you rush, adapt or compromise. It rewards those who want to travel thoughtfully — and that's exactly how we design our holidays.

Hong Kong and Thailand

I made an enquiry a few weeks ago and was very grateful to be helped by Kyra Smith. What started as an enquiry turned into booked a 3 week amazing holiday for 2027. We had a few changes along the way but nothing was to much trouble for Kyra to meet all my needs. I felt so confident in Kyra’s decisions and was grateful for her advise with everything, she literally took the stress away from me. I’m looking at 2028 and will definitely be booking through Kyra again.

The staff are very generous in helping me booked for a ticket. Without them I wouldn't be able to secure a seat. I liked the terms they'd given as of me who pays under installment basis. Very patient, kind and understanding. By the way the one was a Filipino. She's Very efficient in what she do. Very thankful for her assistance and display of character... I would definitely use halo travel again on my next holiday.

Professional experienced Holiday Specialist

Peter Xavier was brilliant in organising our holiday to Hong Kong and Japan. Everything was so well organised and the hotels well located for access to local transport and tourist attractions. We were so pleased we have asked Peter to plan and organise a holiday to Central America. I thoroughly recommend Peter and Halo Travel and Tours UK.

Incredible Honeymoon

We couldn’t have asked for a better travel agent than Kyra to plan our honeymoon to Sri Lanka and the Maldives. From start to finish, she was incredibly accommodating, always open to changes, and constantly coming up with thoughtful ideas to make the trip even more special and personal. What really set Kyra apart was her support during a stressful moment - our return flights coincided with cyclones in Sri Lanka, and our flights were cancelled. Kyra handled everything calmly and efficiently, coordinating alternatives and keeping us informed throughout. Her support during that time was absolutely invaluable and gave us real peace of mind. Thanks to Kyra, our honeymoon was not only beautifully planned but also stress-free, even when the unexpected happened. I genuinely can’t recommend her highly enough.
