Facebook and MPI launch Proud Vietnam tourism programme

The launch on Wednesday also marked the start of the Immense Vietnam fan page to showcase Vietnam’s natural beauty and rich cultural identity – a destination that lends itself perfectly to tourism and business alike.

The Immense Vietnam music video also made its debut with the participation of Vietnamese artists including singer Minh Hang, supermodel Hoang Yen, actor Lien Binh Phat and other stars who bring with them a wave of optimism that showcases the best of Vietnam. The video was directed by internationally-renowned Japanese-Brazilian director Mauricio Osaki.
