Elderly Travel

Elderly travelers heading to Vietnam are encouraged to consider booking a package tour or traveling with family and friends rather than venturing as independent travelers. Numerous Vietnamese travel agencies now specialize in tours designed specifically for older adults, so it is advisable to explore these options before embarking on your journey.

It is highly recommended that elderly travelers pack adequate medications, a medical history description, and a list of local hospitals and clinics. For a comprehensive packing guide, refer to our checklist. Additionally, maintaining a record of family contacts and tour operators is crucial in case of emergencies or if one gets lost.  

The elderly can be particularly sensitive to changes in weather, making it important to gather information about Vietnam's diverse climate, which varies significantly from the north to the south. It is also essential to have health insurance and luggage insurance to cover any unforeseen incidents.

At some popular tourist attractions throughout Vietnam, theft can be a concern, so it is vital for travelers of all ages to remain vigilant and safeguard their belongings at all times.
