The 2010 World Food Festival held in Vung Tau for five days last week broke the Vietnam record for attracting the most participants and delegations. The result recorded by Ba Ria-Vung Tau provincial people’s committee will be sent to the Vietnam record book center, Vietkings.
The festival held in Vietnam for the first time attracted 31 nations and territories, and 31 cities and provinces nationwide. Nearly one million visitors came to the event and thousands of volunteers helped at the festival.
The festival promoted Vietnam’s culture and food to the world and provided an opportunity for countries around the world to exchange and share their unique dishes.
