Tourism in Viet Nam has seen a lot of changes in recent years. For backpackers, culture and nature lovers, military veterans, Viet Nam has become a new tourist destination in Southeast Asia.

International tourist arrivals to Viet Nam have continuously risen. In 2008, Viet Nam received 4.218 million tourists. In 2012, the number rose to 6.84 million. Four years later, the country welcomed 10 million international visitors, and in 2019, it was 18 million. This increase made Viet Nam the fifth most visited country in the Asia-Pacific region.

By March 2023, the four countries with the largest numbers of visitors to Viet Nam are South Korea, the USA, Thailand, and China. The most attractive destinations in Viet Nam are national parks like Cuc Phuong, Phong Nha - Ke Bang, Cape Ca Mau, and World Heritage Sites like Ha Long Bay, Hue, and Hoi An.

Tourism is important to the country's economy. For example, in 2016, tourism contributed 6.6 per cent to gross domestic product (GDP), equal to VND 279,287 billion. It has also helped to promote the development of related sectors, such as hotels, transportation, entertainment, and food.

4. Everybody in my family is a fan of street food. My brother says that the best local food we can find in a place is from street food vendors, not in high-class restaurants. It's true. On this Independence Day holiday, we are going to Thailand to try their world-famous street food.

XII. Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).

Both of my parents love travelling, and they usually take us along. My mum told me that I started travelling with them when I was just four months old. It was a short trip to a city 120 kilometres away from our hometown. Mum said I was a good girl since I ate and slept during the trip without ever crying.

Every year, my family goes on different trips lasting from 2 days to 2 weeks. We normally don't stay in resorts. Instead, we stay at homestays where we can get to know more about the life and culture of the people in those areas. We eat with them, watch them cook, and go hiking with them.

Sometimes we go abroad for our holidays. I still remember when we went to Disneyland in Hong Kong and later visited the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. I will never forget the moment seagulls took some snacks from my hands when we were sitting outside the Sydney Opera House.

I believe that when we travel together, we can strengthen our bonds and have great memories with our beloved family members.

________ 1. The girl began travelling with her family when she was four years old.

________ 2. They usually stay in resorts when they travel.

________ 3. When they were sitting outside the Sydney Opera House, seagulls took some food from her hands.

________ 4. Travelling together makes them feel strongly connected.
