The inclusion of the two destinations in this prestigious category underscores the diversity and appeal of Vietnam’s tourism offerings.
The northern province of Ninh Binh has established itself as one of the country’s premier tourism destinations, renowned for its rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and ecotourism experiences.
Meanwhile, Ta Xua commune in Son La province is emerging as a hidden gem in Vietnam’s northwestern highlands. The destination is known for the rich cultural heritage of the Mong ethnic community, where traditional houses, brocade costumes, and long-standing customs have been carefully preserved. Ta Xua is also famed for its distinctive mountain cuisine and ancient Shan Tuyet tea forests, which have become symbols of the region.
The nominations provide a valuable opportunity for both destinations to raise their international profiles, showcasing Vietnam’s diverse natural beauty and cultural heritage to a global audience while further strengthening the country’s position on the world tourism map.
