The lucky man was Mr. Curvalle Bernard Francois, who comes from France to Vietnam for the first time. He was on a cruise trip from Hainan Island of China before visiting Halong Bay and Hue, on the luxury Superstar Aquarius.

This special tourist was warmly greeted with medal, gift and certificate of the six-millionth international visitor and especially a bonus tour for two to Danang - Hoi An.
 
Halong Bay has recently been voted as the world's New Seven Wonders and the advent of its welcoming Vietnam's 6 millionth tourist is even made more meaningful. In the year to come, Vietnam expects to welcome 6.5 million international tourists, a 10% rise of this year.
