The awarding ceremony of ASEAN Tourism Awards took place on Saturday in Laotian capital city of Vientiane on Friday, according to the Vietnam News Agency. These 25 Vietnamese businesses grasped their awards in various categories, including ASEAN Green Hotel Award, ASEAN Clean Tourism City Award, ASEAN MICE Awards (for Meeting Room, Exhibition Venue and Event Venue) and ASEAN Sustainable Tourism Award (for the Gastronomy Tourism).
