A Tourist’s Guide to Love is a romantic movie that follows a woman named Amanda, who heads to Vietnam where she's on a mission to decide whether her travel agency should purchase a smaller outpost there.
But, while there, she finds herself becoming interested in Sinh (Scott Ly), a tour guide
The Netflix movie is partly based on screenwriter Eirene Tran Donohue’s real-life experiences: She told Tudum: "This idea was based off of the time in my life when, right after college, my safe stable boyfriend unexpectedly broke up with me right as I was about to leave for a five-week trip to Vietnam.
"While I was in Vietnam I realized that that relationship, which was a good one, wasn't actually the best fit for me."
