Gap Adventures Celebrates Hanoi's 1,000th Birthday with Limited Edition Indochina Tour

Tour operator ties Indochina savings into massive celebrations across Vietnam.



    TORONTO, ON, August 14, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There aren't many birthdays more important--or rare--than a city's 1000th. That explains why Gap Adventures (www.gapadventures.com) is pulling out all the stops to help Hanoi enter its second millennium in style.

To celebrate the longevity and cultural vibrancy of Vietnam's capital--as well as the growing number of globetrotters journeying to Hanoi each year--the tour operator is offering a 20% saving on its popular Photograph Indochina tour (http://www.gapadventures.com/trips/photograph-indochina/AVPI/2010/), which will be visiting Hanoi during those very special birthday celebrations on October 10, 2010.

Photograph Indochina (starting at $1,600 CAD per adult, trip code AVPI) tours regional highlights such as Cambodia's fascinating Angkor Wat temple complex, meanders through the bustling streets of Bangkok and explores Vietnam's most dynamic metropolises: Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. And as the name implies, this innovative journey through Indochina allows plenty of time to capture photos of the unforgettable people and places encountered along the way.

"I'm delighted that we can provide travellers with an opportunity to experience Hanoi at one of the most exciting times in its history," said Gap Adventures founder Bruce Poon Tip. "We're aiming to grow the community of travellers who embrace the incredible culture and history of destinations like Hanoi, and we think this is a perfect itinerary to introduce them to the city, its beautiful scenery and its wonderful people."

For travellers interested in a slightly different Vietnam experience, Gap Adventures is featuring an extensive range of more than 10 trips from four to 15 days in duration--including popular itineraries such as Roam Vietnam and Vietnam Culture and Cuisine--which will also be operating in the country during Hanoi's anniversary celebrations.

Spaces are limited on the Photograph Indochina tour and this promotion applies to new bookings only. The offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion, offer or discount. Gap Adventures reserves the right to withdraw this offer from sale at any time.
