The move aims to promote tourism, enhance the position and brand of Quang Tri’s tourism sector, and affirm the value of the World Natural Heritage site on the global tourism map. The park has registered to participate in the World Travel Awards 2026.

The WTA organizing committee has accepted Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park for voting in the two categories of Asia’s Leading National Park and Vietnam’s Leading Nature Destination.

Online voting is conducted via the official website at http://www.worldtravelawards.com/vote, with voting open from early April to August 31, 2026.

To ensure a sufficient number of votes and aim to win in both categories, the park’s management board has asked the Quang Tri People’s Committee to direct local departments, agencies, mass organizations, commune- and ward-level administrations, media outlets and tourism businesses to support communications efforts and participate in the voting.

Pham Hong Thai, Director of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, said the park seeks to continue securing tourism titles at national and Asian levels while striving to win at the global level.

He added that the awards also provide an opportunity to promote the image of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang World Natural Heritage site and attract international visitors from potential markets.

The World Travel Awards (WTA) are a prestigious global award honoring destinations, organizations and businesses for outstanding contributions to the tourism sector.

In 2025, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park won a double title: Vietnam’s Leading Nature Destination and Asia’s Leading National Park.
