Vietnam is filled with nearly 80 million people who are hard working and industrious. By way of example, rice farmers are able to grow three crops annually against Thailand s single crop. This is only because the industrious Vietnamese long ago built an extensive, national system of irrigation canals. It seems one can wander Thailand for days and not hear any English. The Vietnamese workers, in contradistinction to many in neighboring lands are hard working and loyal to their jobs, provided of course they have a fair employer.
Families are always welcome.
For our clients and friends, we continue to urge, as always, a conservative optimism on all matters in Vietnam. However, as this is a nation that for nearly 2000 years has longed for its own chance to shine, that time now seems to be upon them. Based upon our 30 year-long experience with the people of Vietnam, and particularly our past seven consecutive years in this region, we believe that the next 12 months can be an extraordinarily exciting time for growth in Vietnam, provided the nation s leaders and foreign investors both have the courage and the foresight to move forward.
