This is the fourth consecutive year, the park has been honoured at the 29th World Travel Award (WTA) Asia & Oceania Gala Ceremony held recently in HCM City.

It was one of many successes for Vietnamese destinations and tour operators.

The WTA was launched in 1993 to acknowledge excellence in the travel and tourism industry. Its awards have been described as equivalent to the "Oscars".

Travel industry VIPs from 35 nations attended the blockbuster event at HCM City’s state-of-the-art GEM Center.

Established in 1962, Cuc Phuong is the oldest national park in Vietnam. Located between the provinces of Ninh Binh, Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa, and only 120km southwest of Hanoi, the park boasts an engaging cultural and wildlife heritage and enchanting scenery.
