The launch of the National Tourism Year 2015 will be held in mid March 2015 in Thanh Hoa province with a focus on connecting world heritage sites.

A network of various world heritage sites across the nation should act as the basis for Vietnam to develop its tourism sector, helping to turn the country into an attractive tourist centre in Asia.

Dubbed as "Ha Long Bay on land", the Trang An landscape complex, a cradle of civilization of ancient Vietnamese, is the first in Vietnam to have been recognized by UNESCO as a world natural and cultural heritage site. The title creates a chance to heighten Vietnam's image in the eye of foreign friends.

The Trang An Tourism Complex in the northern province of Ninh Binh was officially included in the world heritage list on June 23 by the UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, said the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The unique buffalo fighting festival, held annually in Do Son district, Hai Phong city on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, has been acknowledged as a national intangible cultural heritage.
