Ha Long Bay vies for honours in world wonders

Ha Long Bay vies for honours in world wonders

Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh province, a UNESCO recognised world’s
heritage site, has jumped to second place among 28 finalists of the
online voting for the world’s new seven wonders.


The voting was launched by New Open World (NOW) and is available at http://www.vote 7.com.


The
positive result is thanks to Quang Ninh province’s efforts in boosting
information dissemination and promotion of the image of Ha Long Bay to
foreign friends.


The province has also developed
tourism linkages with other provinces nationwide, especially the
country’s five biggest tourism centres.


The Vietnam
National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) has planned a promotion
campaign and asked Quang Ninh province to publish a tourism publication
on Ha Long Bay with attached voting guidelines as well as build a game
show named “Impressive Vietnam”.


Ha Long Bay is drawing
the attention of tourists from both road and waterways, helping to
bring 5.3 million visitors to Quang Ninh in the first eight months of
the year with estimated revenue of 2.3 trillion VND./.
