The Banyan Times via Byantimes.com aims to translate and compile news and information about Vietnam’s economy and business as well as lifestyle, culture and travel to English-speaking audience.
The Banyan Times will bring you a Vietnamese perspective and fresh insights on current events and different ways of viewing the world. We offer a platform for critical, constructive and divergent comment in the different spheres including business, public affairs, culture, the environment, health and education.
As the world’s gateway to Vietnam and Asia, we reveal the diversity of our culture, traditions and innovations and bring you the latest in business, cutting-edge technologies and creativity from across the region. We treasure our connection with the people who live, work and travel here.
The Banyan Times is named for the banyan tree which is native to Asia, especially in South and Southeast Asia. The banyan tree is still used as a source of shade in many villages, and its branches here symbolize great ideas.
