Series 6 Question 7
Is now a good time to travel to Vietnam?
As the world feels increasingly uncertain, it’s a question many travellers are quietly asking…
Is now a good time to travel to Vietnam in 2026? Is Vietnam the best place to feel safe and still enjoy a holiday?
In this episode, I’m coming to you from Vietnam itself — sharing what I’m seeing on the ground, how global events are really impacting travel (and how they’re not), and what you need to know if you’re planning a trip this year.
Because here’s the truth…
Vietnam isn’t slowing down.
With over 4.7 million international visitors in the first two months of 2026 alone — up more than 18% year-on-year — travellers are still coming. In fact, many are leaning in.
So maybe the better question isn’t ifyou should travel…
It’s how to travel smartly in 2026.
In this episode, I unpack:
What’s really happening with airfares and flight routes
Why disruption — not destination — is the real challenge right now
The mindset shift travellers have without realising
The three types of travellers — and how each types varies in their ability to control changes
Five practical strategies to travelwith confidence this year
I’m coming to you from Vietnam — sharing what I’m seeing on the ground, and why, for me, it still feels like the sweet spot… with just a few provisos.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence, wondering whether to go now or wait…
this episode should help you think about that question a little differently.
