Sep 29, 2014

Dear readers

Welcome to the October issue of Tourism Review Online Magazine introducing Vietnam as a remarkable place for your next holiday. Not everything is rosy there of course, which you can see in the Destination supplement. More impressive destinations from Asia are described in the Heritage part presenting Silk Road sites from different countries. The Ethical part on the other hand invites readers to various places of worship – stunning churches, a fascinating mosque… They all bear great spiritual meaning despite their history being very short.

The Professional supplement focuses on tourism taxes and fees – the troublesome part of everyday traveling. Wellness travel, its popularity and importance in the modern world is the topic of the Spa part. Enjoy the magazine.
