Vietnam’s rising position in the global tourism arena was recently recognized by scores of accolades at the World Travel Awards. 

The ranking was established in 1993 and is considered by some to be the “Oscars of the travel industry.” In the first phase, nominees compete within their geographical region; then, the winners of each region go head-to-head in each category to find global winners.

On October 12, the award-giving ceremony for the Asia region took place on Phu Quoc in Vietnam, with the host clinching a number of important prizes. Specifically, it won the Asia’s Leading Destination prize for the second year in a row, beating eight other countries.

  1. I can't say the food looks good as I am not in the mood. Later
    maybe.
    Apparently, the thirty-nine people who were found dead in a truck
    in the UK, some were Vietnamese though they said the dead were
    all Chinese. They refuse to identify the nationality:

    1. I am sure they are.

      Pham Thi Tra My, 26, sent a text message to her mother saying she could not breathe at about the time the truck container was en route from Belgium to Britain, Hoa said.

      VietHome, an organisation for the Vietnamese community, said it had received news from 10 families that their loved ones were missing. Hanoi's London embassy was coordinating with British police, the official Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported.
