The first and most important thing for foreign tourists to Vietnam is to acquire a Vietnam visa. Make sure you check the visa policies carefully before you go. Some countries enjoy visa exemption policies while citizens from other countries can apply for a Vietnam E-visa conveniently.
Vietnamese people use Vietnam Dong (VND). 1 USD is equivalent to around 23,000 – 24,000 Vietnam dongs. Please note that ATMs are available in big cities and most tourist destinations accept credit/debit cards; so you don’t need to bring too much cash with you on the way.
The receptionist at your hotel can help you book everything, from transportation to attractions, etc. However, it is not a good idea in urgent cases. You are advised to book your Vietnam golf trip with a local golf agency, who can help you book a tee time, reserve hotel accommodation, and even arrange some sightseeing activities if you want.
