It covers the trip along Vietnam's coastline from Hanoi in the north to Saigon in the south.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe purpose of the journey was to look at railway travel as a more leisurely means of tourism. More people who travel want to experience a genuine insight into foreign cultures or to see how local people live their lives. Railway travel provides a good way of doing this. There is also a greater desire to see environmental and social responsibility needs being met in the places that tourists stay in or visit. Added to this is the pursuit of 'slow tourism' where, instead of rushing from one place to another, people want to travel in a more leisurely manner. Railway travel has the potential to accommodate these requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe travelogue style is intended to be anecdotal and illustrative (with photos) and to give the reader an idea of the sort of experiences (good and bad) that one could expect in undertaking the trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Sharrocks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9810998198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810998196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Sharrocks Consultancy Pte Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.12d","brand":"Mike Sharrocks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941383110911,"sku":"9789810998196","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0e7a7a40-a631-4d6b-afe7-a28404ef556f.jpg?v=1681452604","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/south-east-asian-railway-journeys-mike-sharrocks-9789810998196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
