Vietnam in the past 2 years of lockdown has really seen an opportunity to develop itself as a  “Wellness destination”. 
The country not only offers sheer beauty, open spaces to explore and discover, hot springs, culture, over 3,000 kms of coastline, quality food and wellness practices such as meditation and yoga are becoming easily accessible in properties and locations around Vietnam.

Today we talk about one of these Wellness retreat properties in detail, as I wanted you to have  one true example as a point of reference. Plus, you will hear a little bit about the imperial city of Hue.

Hylton Lipkin is my guest today and is one of the champions influencing the change towards wellness and sustainable tourism in Vietnam. While wellness is different things to different people, I hope this episode will give you a snapshot view of some of the activities and experiences available to you; to either “kick start” a change to your lifestyle, or offer some respite from the one you have.

Hylton, born in South Africa, was once an avid traveller himself, and found himself living and working in many countries around the world ,until he was offered a job in Vietnam, where he now sits as the GM of the Alba Wellness Valley located just outside of Hue in Central Vietnam.

Hylton is also the World Wellness Weekend Ambassador for Vietnam and in that role he has the chance to influence the world on the growth of this sector in Vietnam and to bring forth his other passion, which is Environmental Wellness.

Vietnam has a swag of wellness experiences to incorporate into your next holiday, so keep an eye out for these as you make plans and book your holiday experience in Vietnam.

Sit back and enjoy my entertaining and knowledgeable guest - Hylton Lipkin.
