(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, January 11, 2012 ) Phuket, Thailand -- Veterans, tourists and military historians in their hundreds will be swelling the ranks of Hue city centre hotels in February 2012 as the 44th anniversary of the Tet Offensive and the Battle of Hue City takes place.
DirectRooms.com, the leading online hotel room bookings website, is advising travellers and tourists heading to Vietnam around that time to book their places to stay well ahead of arrival to avoid disappointment.
The Battle of Hue is one of the most renowned from the Vietnam War, and took place around the areas of South Vietnam. The Tet Offensive lasted for almost three years and is one of the most celebrated military campaigns in the US calendar. As such veterans and family members of those who fought and died in the campaign regularly head to Vietnam to commemorate its anniversary.
The anniversary events, which include dinners, presentations, speeches from surviving combatants and more, take place between February 5th and February 19th 2012. Attendees heading along from the USA are able to book well ahead and customise their itineraries to see all the sights of Vietnam that they want to visit.
The tour host is Colonel Chuck Meadows, and acclaimed storyteller and historian who fought and commanded a company during the Battle of Hue City.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head of DirectRooms.com, says, Vietnam War events always tend to be very well attended as it is such an emotive subject. Many hundreds of additional visitors will be heading into Hue in February, so we are taking the time to advise people that advance booking of hotel rooms will be required at that time to secure choice and value for money.
