Vietnam ranks among 10 safest countries in Asia in 2024

Vietnam ranked eighth in the list of the 10 safest countries in Asia in 2024 as voted by Best Diplomats, a New-York based organization focusing on training future diplomats.

The ten countries are honored by Best Diplomats thanks to their low crime rates, political stability, and secure environment.

The organization hailed Vietnam for its beauty, rich culture, and delicious cuisine.

It suggested that one of the safest and most famous places to visit in Vietnam is Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its limestone islands and emerald waters.

Recently, Tripadvisor, the world's largest travel guidance platform, has announced the Travelers' Choice Best of the Best Destinations 2024, naming Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh in list of best natural destinations for 2024.

Tripadvisor also listed Ninh Binh boat and cycling tour, and the waterfall climbing and sightseeing tour in Da Lat, a central highlands city of Vietnam, among the top 25 most exciting activities in its Nature and Outdoor category.

The travel guidance platform suggested tourists “Swap the hustle of Hanoi for a day filled with natural beauty, education, and adventure on a Full-Day Ninh Binh Highlights Tour. You'll get to enjoy hiking, cycling, and cruising around the picturesque local village, with ample photo opportunities at scenic spots.”

In the 2024 Nature & Outdoor category, the one-day Ninh Binh tour by boat and bicycle, covering Hoa Lu, Tam Coc, and Hang Mua, was voted 3rd among the top 25.

According to the Ninh Bình Department of Tourism, in the first six months of 2024, the number of visitors to tourist sites in the province was estimated to exceed 6.28 million, an increase of nearly 38.5% compared to the same period last year./.
