There has been an almost constant growth since 1965 when it recorded merely 98,000 annual arrivals.

Vietnam for example, is actually well-known for a having a difficult time reconciling national and provincial laws, and this can end up causing troubles for the unwary traveller. This lack of consistency makes it necessary for all travellers to not only understand the national law they visit, but also understand the provincial laws for the specific area they visit within that
