The Mekong River is one of the most spectacular
and fascinating rivers of the world. Mekong River Cruises & Mekong Islands
Tours, a Lao-German joint venture, launched the first Laotian long-distance and
overnight river cruise of all times on the upper Mekong in 2006.
Laos
is a landlocked country with an inadequate infrastructure and a largely
unskilled work force. The country's per capita income in 2004 was estimated to
be $1,900 on a purchasing power parity-basis.
Laos is a beautiful tiny country nestled between Thailand, Cambodia
and Vietnam. Although the country does not have the tourism
infrastructure of Thailand, this shortcoming is becoming its main attraction if you are looking for unspoiled, non-touristy place.
