Vietnam has sent a dispatch to
NewOpenWorld asking the organisers to
put Ha Long Bay back in the world
natural wonder poll, said a senior
official of the Vietnam National
Administration of Tourism (VNAT).
The official, Vice Head of VNAT’s
Tourism Promotion Agency Nguyen Thi
Thanh Huong, also called for individuals
and organisations supporting Ha Long Bay
to strictly obey NewOpenWorld’s rules.
Acting Head of VNAT, Nguyen Quoc Ky,
stated that though NewOpenWorld is not a
United Nations (UN) representative, it
is a reputed organisation in the world,
not an entirely commercial one as some
newspapers have reported.
Ky also said that NewOpenWorld’s
standards for the seven world natural
wonders are very dynamic, and that this
is a new way of looking at the subject.
“Vietnam will use every tool and
information channel to advertise its
image to the world through Ha Long Bay
as its symbol,” Ky declared.
