On the world map Just 10 to 15 years ago, Viet Nam had a very limited number of luxury resorts, limited infrastructure and no world-class theme parks. But that’s no longer the case. In fact, the country now possesses some of the world’s leading luxury accommodations and theme parks.
At the World Travel Awards (WTA), often described as ‘the Oscars of the world travel industry’, Hotel de la Coupole - MGallery (Sa Pa) was named ‘Asia’s Leading Design Hotel’ and ‘Vietnam’s Leading Luxury Hotel’ in 2019 and 2020. Meanwhile, Sun World Fansipan Legend, also located in Sapa, was named the ‘World’s Leading Cultural Tourist Attraction’ award in the same years.

Hanoi â The mobilisation of social resources for tourism infrastructure has helped Vietnamâs tourism strengthen its position in the new period.
Vietnamâs tourism infrastructure has seen various changes over the past two decades. The Government has once pointed out bottlenecks of the sector, namely asynchronous infrastructure, poor management of tourist destinations, and tourism development not in combination with environmental protection.
Vietnamâs tourism development strategy to 2020, with a view until 2030, which was approved by the Prime Minister, points out the key viewpoint that is to focus more on quality.
