Australian tourism agencies are currently offering overseas package tours for les than AUD 1,000 (nearly VND 12 million).

A promotion campaign is targeting at Australian households that have received between AUD 900-3000 in subsidies from their government’s economic stimulus package.

Australian students are eager to use this “government gift” to travel and consider it a welcome surprise from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s administration.

Vietnam is a popular tourist destination for many students because of lower costs invaded. However, Vietnam currently faces fierce competition from other low cost competitors such as Indonesia and Fiji.
