VOV.VN - The Vietnam Records Organisation (VietKings) has announced a list of the top 20 unique travel experiences in Vietnam, with the aim of popularising the country’s tourism to both local and domestic visitors.
According to Le Tran Truong An, general director of VietKings, the local experiences are published once a year and are based on the numerous opinions and perspectives of experts at the council of records.
“Our main goal is to stimulate tourism and honour the various unique values of Vietnam as well as local people,” said An.
An animal release tour named ‘Coming Home’ in Cuc Phuong National Park topped the list, with illegally trafficked animals such as birds, monkeys, reptiles, wild cats, and civets to be returned into the forest during the tour. Visitors are encouraged to donate to the park to contribute to its preservation work.
