Other good news for Vietnam’s tourism industry is that the country is currently the number one candidate for the “Asia`s best golf destination” prize at The World Golf Awards.
Vietnam has been selected as “Asia’s Leading Destination” category in 2019 for the second year in a row at the World Travel Awards (WTA), the de facto “Oscar” award for the tourism industry.
Besides, Vietnam won in other three categories at the WTA ceremony for Asia and Oceania held in the country’s Phu Quoc island last weekend including "Asia’s Leading Culinary Destination" and "Asia’s Leading Cultural Destination" while the title "Asia’s Leading Cultural City Destination" was given to the ancient town of Hoi An.
Although Vietnam has received significant praise from some of the world’s leading culinary magazines and prestigious chefs, this is the first time the country gained this honor.
