Province Group to launch campaign to vote for Phong Nha - Ke Bang to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world
The voting for the seven natural wonders of the world has been organized by the NewOpenWorld from 2007 to 2010 via the Internet. The first round will finish on December 31 2008. Then, the voting will continue to go forward to the next stage. In the autumn 2010, the New7Wonders of Nature will be officially declared.
Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park together with two remaining nominees of Vietnam, namely Ha Long Bay and Fansipan Peak is in the list of voting. Immediately after Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park was removed from the natural wonders competition of the NewOpenWorld, the Provincial People’s Committee registered documents with the organizers and established an Official Supporting Committee to vote via the Internet. Until August 5, Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park reappeared in the world’s natural wonders list of NewOpenWorld after four months of being removed from the best 77 natural wonders nomination list. At present, Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park currently ranks the 7th in the list.
The voting for Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park to be one of the seven natural wonder of the world is a big opportunity to spread the image and people of Quang Binh in particular and Vietnam in general to the friends worldwide, contributing to raising the awareness of preservation and promotion of the values of the Heritage.
