The destinations are surveyed and voted on every 3 years.
The recognition of the “Prominent Tourist Destinations in the Mekong Delta” helps tourists conveniently choose safe, friendly, and high-quality destinations, contributing positively to the development of the region’s tourism brand. These destinations must continuously develop in terms of quantity and quality, focusing on building new tourism products and renovating existing ones to meet the demands of visitors.
