UK Telegraph names Vietnam a world’s best country
(VOV) -Vietnam was announced as one of the top 20 Telegraph readers’ most favourite countries, with votes cast by almost 90,000 people in the widest-ranging travel survey of its kind.
The winning of a prestigious award like this, voted by the public, is a great accolade for the country and bodes well for our tourism industry, a government tourism representative said.
Vietnam was praised for its peaceful and beautiful pristine beaches, vast rice fields, vivid cities, and an impressiveculinary background.
The Telegraph’s Asia commissioning editorwrote“It will be forty years after the fall of Saigon, and Vietnam has come a long way since then. Its cities are absurdly in-your-face, driven by the buzz of a million motorbikes and the palpable thrust of energy and commerce.”
Rounding out the top 20 list were Barbados, India, Cuba, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Namibia, Mauritius, Italy, Canada, the US, Peru, Tanzania, Botswana, Japan, Australia, Myanmar, South Africa, Maldives, and New Zealand.
