Sunset fishingAccording to the travel companies in Vietnam, in
the near future photography tourism will develop as because the country has many
heritage sites, tourist attractions, ancient villages and
colorful pictures of
daily life of the Vietnamese people.
Lovers of photography often enjoy their passion with their journeys to places
with beautiful views in order to take a great photos. This type of tourism is
called "the photographic tour", and recently a number of travel companies in
Vietnam have organized such tours to meet the needs of the clients who love
"view-and-shoot".
Adam Hwang, marketing manager of an international tour company in Vietnam said
that, although the work is very busy, but Hwang and his friends often bring a
camera for a short trip somewhere to take pictures in their spare time. "We do
not put heavy emphasis on art of the image, so the photos we take are very
realistic and vivid. It is important that when you look through the lens and
shoot, a beautiful moment is recorded. We really liked this sense, so we often
organize photo trips like this".
Many young students in Hanoi at weekends usually go away to get good pictures of
the cabbage flower gardens, orchards or soaring bush of reed. The beauty of
nature will help amateur photographers captured many beautiful photos without
the need for experience.
As a prevailing movement a large number of young people in big cities often team
up to take a picture together away freely. They often go to the popular
destinations with stunning views and cultural highlights to take photo. For
those who can not go away, they just take pictures in the city where they live,
but if you take the time to search for new corners in the city, they can give
birth to works of life.
Kim, a 22-year-old student at a university in
Ho Chi Minh City said:
"To have a picture like that, sometimes the photographers have to roll over,
roll back, rolling on the ground to find a nice angle".
Taking a great opportunity, many tour companies
in Vietnam have opened many sightseeing
photography tours. Their clients are young people, entrepreneurs and foreign
tourists, who have the same hobby of Vietnam travel photos.
Long Pham, a photographer and as a tour guide, revealed that domestic tourists
love photography tours in the area of heritage and famous scenic spots. Foreign
tourists, there are many different requirements. "They asked me to tell them
what the best of Vietnam. Although they love the famous tourist attractions such
as Hue old capital, My Son sanctuary and Halong bay, but they do not have enough
time to take pictures. However, the scene of a school girl wearing white long
dress flying in the wind after school, of the workers taking a rest after work
or sight of a family reunion in the fire somewhere in the center could attract
foreign photographers for several hours. The lens of Vietnamese tourists are
used to record beautiful moments, while the lens of the foreign visitors to
explore daily life in Vietnam". Son said.
David Hung, Director of a travel company said a group of traveling photographic
tour includes up to 10 people, and the company also offers flexible services
from the hotel, restaurants and transportation to meet their demand. "Sometimes
we have to arrange appropriate objects and scenes to be taken, such as local
fairs with pictures of busy purchasing activities or a young woman rowing on the
river under the golden sunset.
Ms Anna Tham from Fareast travel company said that the organization of
sightseeing photography tours is much more complicated than the normal tours.
"The tour operators need seek new destinations, capture the beautiful moments,
find the beautiful angles and nice season to advise tourists".
Due to such high demand so the cost of this type of tours is often 25-30% higher
than the normal tour for travel companies to offer photographers and models to
cater to a small group of photographer tourists. Some tour operators have
partnered with professional photographers to organize tours for tourists
photographing in the country and abroad.
Based on the specific requirements of the photography tour, a tour guide must be
a photographer so they can find spectacular places at each destination and make
all arrangements for tourists so that they have unique travel photos in Vietnam.
Nam Viet Travel cooperated with a tour operator in Japan to organize tours for
Japanese tourists to take photos, people over 60 years old and have a passion
for photography. Because Japanese tourists living in a developed country, they
want to explore the beauty of Vietnamese people in daily activities and
landscape of a country without urbanization.
Coming to Vietnam, Japanese tourists are often required to take them to places
where they can take pictures of hawkers, fishing on the river, Vietnamese
festivals, rice harvests, livestock breeding, rural markets, fish markets, or
fields of salt. "They are interested in the unique landscapes in Vietnam",
photographers Paul Nguyen said.
