Best Casino Hotels in Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) -January 21, 2020 – For the longest time, Vietnam has been trying to develop its tourism efforts to showcase its culture, customs and traditions. In fact, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism reported that Ho Chi Minh City’s authorities recently held a workshop dedicated to coming up with a long-term plan for developing cultural tourism in the city. The plan, which extends until 2030, is focused on exploring different approaches such as preserving historic sites, increasing the selection of immersive cultural experiences, and creating meaningful and distinguished culture tourism products.

Unbeknownst to many, one of Ho Chi Minh City’s greatest draws to tourists is its budding gambling tourism industry. Despite the country’s strict regulation of the industry, the city is emerging as one of the places where tourists choose to gamble due to its wealth of modern and comfortable casino hotels. A guide by ExpatBets on Vietnam’s gaming scene explains how gambling is still very much alive, despite these strict regulations, thanks to the government’s soft spot for hotels, which have allowed them to continue to operate casinos. In fact, it’s such a promising industry that an article on VN Express reported that Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance is looking for ways to liberalize the current stringent policies surrounding the establishment of casinos. This is being done to hopefully attract foreign direct investments.
