The Lao govt are promoting tourism in Laos this year.
Tourism has come along in leaps and bounds over the years.
Having lived and worked in Laos I highly recommend the country for those of you who are looking to travel to Asia this year.
The govt website, tourismlaos.org is a well set out site with all relevant information you need to plan your trip.
Lao people are friendly and easy to get along with and I am sure they look forward to seeing you here.
