Vietnam’s Hanoi and Hoi An City have been added to the list of Asia’s
top ten destinations for 2010 by the Hong Kong online tourist magazine
Smart Travel Asia.
According to the results, the
ancient town in central Vietnam, Hoi An has retained the fifth place,
that it reached last year and Hanoi came seventh in the list.
In the top 25 hotels and resorts in Asia, the Nam Hai in Quang Nam
central province and the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi ranked second
and third, respectively. The Sofitel Da Lat Palace in the Central
Highland province of Lam Dong came 21st and the Princess d’Annam
Resort & Spa in Binh Thuan central province ranked 25th .
The Park Hyatt Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City and the Sofitel Legend
Metropole and the Sheraton in Hanoi were also voted amongst the best
hotels for businesspeople and conferences.
The
annual poll, which is held every May to July, selects the best resort
city, the best city to shop, the best city for business, and the best
hotel, restaurant and airline.
According to
Vietnam’s National Administration of Tourism, being listed in the top
ten destinations in Asia is an excellent opportunity to entice more
international visitors to Hanoi, especially on the city’s millennial
birthday./.
