Vietnam is one of Asia’s most vibrant destinations. Travel to this country and you’ll be met with striking landscapes, lush tropical forests, conical-hatted farmers, floating markets, warmth, curiosity,... and child labour. 

Vietnam’s tourism industry continues to rank amongst the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world. Tourism flourishes as never before and hotels are at full capacity. If you’re looking for a culturally immersive travel experience at wallet-friendly prices the popular ‘homestays’ offer a chance to delve even deeper into the country’s rich culture.Wherever there is tourism, it is common to see little children roaming the streets at all times of day and night to sell their wares to passers-by. In 2014, there were 1.75 million Vietnamese children, with two in every five of them under 15 of age, working in situations that fit the definition of child labour. Most of them having poor socio-economic backgrounds.
