Want to share your experiences in Vietnam with the world? We love to see what inspires you, and are always happy to share engaging stories about travel in Vietnam. Follow the guidelines below for a chance to be featured on our website and social media.
Our social media accounts
We have accounts on a few different platforms, including YouTube, Vimeo and Pinterest, but when it comes to guest images and videos, we share mostly on Instagram and Facebook. You can find our accounts with this handle: @vietnamtourismboard
How to reach us
Just posted a perfect video or photo of your travels in Vietnam? Add the hashtag #VietnamNOW or #MyVietnam to your caption on Instagram, or tag us @vietnamtourismboard so we can find it. Remember to set your content to public so we can see it.
Collaborations
Takeovers: We run takeovers featuring fun and unique experiences in Vietnam. The format begins with a video introduction, and can follow with a mix of video and/or photos. If you’re interested in collaborating with us for a takeover on Instagram, contact us at community@tabvietnam.vn.
Partnerships: At the moment we do not work together with individual content creators for sponsored trips. If you feel that your work is very strong and merits support, please contact us at community@tabvietnam.vn and we can pass your portfolio on to our partner hotels and tour companies.
My Vietnam: We welcome mini-photo sets from expert photographers travelling in Vietnam. These will be posted together in a multi-picture post on Instagram or a dedicated album on Facebook. Please send us your best snaps at social@tabvietnam.vn with a 150-200 word caption describing ‘your’ Vietnam, or what the country means to you.
What we feature
We love to share the most inspiring and eye-catching content with our community. Bright colours, cool details, epic scenery and personal perspective are elements we always look for. We favour authentic local experiences, and sides of Vietnam not everyone gets to see.
We also reshare the best interactive downloadables that we’ve created for our social community. Just tag us so we can see your answers.
Our favourite subjects
Landscapes
We’re talking epic, jaw-dropping landscape photography. Subjects can vary (just like Vietnam’s geography) from jungle-covered karsts to refreshing beach shots. Whether it's mighty mountains or the chill coast, show us the best of Vietnam’s magnificent landscapes.
Food
Mouth-watering photos of Vietnamese food and drinks are always a hit. We love to share great food shots, with interesting backdrops and details. Flat-lay shots of beautiful food photos are always in demand.
The traveller
Fun shots of cycling in Hoi An’s countryside, taking in the views of Hai Van Pass or cruising through a Tra Su Mangrove Forest. We don’t feature selfies or classic portraits, but are happy to show you in the environment with the backdrop as a highlight.
Architecture
Show us the old and the new, with the impressive and mind-boggling range of architecture in Vietnam. It could be in the city or the countryside, a temple or a resort, a stilt house or a hip rooftop bar. Whether it’s a tiny detail or impressive drone shot, we’d love to see it.
Captions
Include as much information as you can about the photo or video. Where was it taken, how do you get there, how did it make you feel and any other tips you want to share with fellow travellers. The more details you provide, the better.
