The breathtaking Dong Van Karst Plateau UNESCO Global Geopark in Tuyên Quang, Vietnam, has achieved a remarkable milestone. At the prestigious Asia & Oceania Gala Ceremony of the 2025 World Travel Awards, the geopark was named Asia’s Leading Regional Cultural Destination 2025—a well-deserved recognition of its cultural richness, geological significance, and dedication to sustainable tourism.
As the announcement echoed through the gala hall, representatives from Vietnam stood tall with pride. For them, this was more than an accolade; it was an acknowledgment of years of careful stewardship—of a land where culture and nature intertwine, where every stone, terrace, and smile tells a centuries-old story.
