Laos Meeting and Event Planning Guide

Vivid nature, voluptuous landscapes and a vibrant culture collide with a painful past and optimistic future to make Laos an enigmatic experience for the adventurous. Laos is one of the most underrated destinations in Southeast Asia. The country opened to foreign visitors in 1989, and since then, tourism has become the fastest growing industry. Despite the increased international attention, Laos is often overlooked for better-known countries in the region such as Thailand and Vietnam. As a result, Laos feels like a hidden gem, and it is easy to experience the authentic Lao culture. The Lao people are warm, kind and hospitable and they are eager to show off their beautiful country. Laos is a multifaceted place, where travelers find both lush nature and rich culture wherever they go. The untouched nature with mountains and rainforest in the north and wide fields and islands in the south lends itself to an active and adventurous vacation. Whereas the elegant colonial cities offer endless history, culture, and relaxation.
