On April 10, in Hanoi, the Vietnam Travel Awards ceremony honored outstanding businesses and individuals in Vietnam’s Tourism Industry for their achievements in 2024.
The event brought together many key figures who have made significant contributions to the sustainable growth of the nation’s tourism industry.
A major highlight of the Vietnam Travel Awards 2024 was the Tra Su Cajuput Forest in An Giang Province. It was honored as the most visited tourist destination of the year. This accolade is not just well-deserved recognition; it underscores the unique appeal of the forest, solidifying its status as a leading example of popular ecotourism.
The prestigious annual Vietnam Travel Awards recognize organizations and individuals pivotal to the tourism sector’s development. This year’s ceremony marked a significant milestone, showcasing impressive achievements and notable contributors as Vietnam’s tourism industry continues its robust post-pandemic recovery and expansion.
Often referred to as the “green lung” of the Mekong Delta, Tra Su Cajuput Forest is home to hundreds of bird species and rare flora and fauna. Visitors can glide through the forest in paddleboats along waterways carpeted with green duckweed, marvel at rows of tall cajuput trees, and enjoy panoramic views from elevated observation towers or a bamboo bridge weaving through the forest, offering an immersive and picturesque experience.
Beyond its natural charm, the destination also offers unique activities such as birdwatching, paddling traditional three-plank sampans, and sampling regional specialties like clay-pot grilled field rats, grilled snakehead fish, fermented fish hotpot, and sour soup with sesbania flowers. These local touches have helped attract millions of visitors each year, establishing Tra Su as a must-visit destination in the Mekong Delta.
The Vietnam Travel Awards 2024 ceremony not only celebrates outstanding successes but also acts as a catalyst, encouraging the entire tourism industry towards continued innovation and enhanced service quality. Tra Su Cajuput Forest is expected to remain at the forefront, helping to shape a more professional, sustainable, and appealing Vietnamese tourism sector for both domestic and international visitors.
The success of Tra Su Cajuput Forest reaffirms its standing as a premier ecological destination and bolsters the growing trend of green, sustainable tourism in Vietnam. Through consistent efforts in service improvement, nature conservation, and sustainable practices, the forest continues to solidify its place on the national tourism map.
Highlighting these accomplishments, the Vietnam Travel Awards 2024 reaffirmed the tourism sector’s vital role in the national economy and paved the way for even greater growth prospects for the years ahead.
