Accordingly, the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort (Da Nang) has set an unprecedented record in the history of the world tourism industry by being honored as the "World's Leading Luxury Resort" for the fourth consecutive time.

In 2017, InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort impressively beat 30 other nominees from around the world, three times the number of applicants in 2016, to win the aforementioned category.

In addition, the JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay resort was awarded the "World's Best New Luxury Resort" title.

The third prestigious award went to the travel company Vietravel.

After winning in the Asia-Pacific region for five consecutive years, this year, surpassing five other candidates, Vietravel has become the first and only Vietnamese travel company to be honored as the "World's Leading Package Tour Operator 2017".

Also during the awards ceremony, several other important categories were announced. Specifically, the title of "World's Best Airline" went to Singapore Airlines. The "World's Leading Hotel" was awarded to The Oberoi Udaivillas (India). Norwegian Cruise Line (Norway) received the title of "World's Leading Cruise Ship," while Portugal was honored as "World's Leading Destination."

The World Travel Awards, now in its 24th year, is considered the most prestigious award on the planet, with voting participation from experts and senior executives in the tourism and hospitality industry from over 140 countries and territories worldwide.

The fact that Vietnamese businesses and destinations have been continuously honored with world tourism awards has further enhanced Vietnam's image in the eyes of international friends, contributing to the implementation of Resolution 08 of the Politburo to make tourism a key economic sector.
