The celebration of the National Year of Tourism will continue on through 2010, of course.  According to the Vietnamese government’s tourism site, the entire country will be participating. Vietnam is also celebrating the 1,000-year anniversary of the founding of its capital, Hanoi, so many events will be held there. There will will an emphasis on environmentally-friendly tourism opportunities, a tour guide competition, an international gastronomy festival in Hanoi, and much more.
