Quang Ninh destinations named 2022 World Travel Awards winners

Foreign arrivals to Vietnam were estimated to have hit 7.83 million in the first eight months of 2023, surging 5.4-fold compared to the same period last year but still only 69.2% of the figure in the first seven months of 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Van Don International Airport in Quang Ninh province has been honoured by the World Travel Awards (WTA) as Asia’s Leading Regional Airport - the fourth year in succession it has received the award.

The world’s leading online travel platform, Booking.com, has announced a list of the top 10 most sought-after destinations by Vietnamese tourists during the upcoming National Day holiday (September 2), with a check-in date from September 2-4.

Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, and Phong Nha-Ke Bang have been named among the 16 most favourite UNESCO world heritage wonders in Southeast Asia by leading UK-based travel magazine Wanderlust.

In addition to developing tourism into a spearhead economic sector able to contribute 15% to gross regional domestic product (GRDP) by 2030, the northern province of Quang Ninh - home of the world heritage site of Ha Long Bay - is also striving to turn itself into a national tourism hub.
