Lotte Legend Hotel Sai-
gon, a luxury river-front five-
star hotel in the heart of Ho
Chi Minh City, has just re-
opened its event spaces after
a fresh renovation. The ho-
tel’s major event spaces have
been fully transformed into
exquisitely-designed function
rooms with a complete range
of cutting-edge audio and vis-
ual equipment and a variety
of state-of-the-art meeting
and banquet facilities.
Understanding that not
all volunteers can spare sev-
eral weeks to work on a com-
munity project, Adventure
Vietnam has designed an
itinerary which allows travel-
lers to spend a couple of days
volunteering leaving time to
explore. The new seven night
trip includes participation in
a project helping disadvan-
taged children. To learnmore,

VietJet has opened a
regular flight to South Korea
linking the capital of Viet-
nam with Seoul. The airline
will also operate a direct
route from Danang in Cen-
tral Vietnam to Seoul. On
the airline’s maiden flight
from Seoul to Hanoi, VietJet
staff proudly introduced Vi-
etnamese culture to Korean
passengers by performing a
traditional folk song called
Trong Com. Passengers were
also offered a Vietnamese
specialty - freshly grounded
coffee beans from Tay Nguy-
en (the Central Highlands)
- as a complimentary souve-
nir and a taste of Vietnam.
The five-hour long flight de-
parts Hanoi every night at
1:45AM and arrives in Seoul
at 7.55am.
