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.
