New7Wonders Honours the Official 7 Wonders Day this year in Viet Nam

ZURICH, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- New7Wonders is proud to announce that 7 Wonders Day is being officially honoured in Viet Nam for the first time, marking a significant milestone in the country's continuing journey as the home of one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, Ha Long Bay.

This initiative is taking place across two iconic locations: Ha Long Bay, internationally recognised as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, and Ha Noi, and is being supported by Vingroup, Viet Nam's leading private enterprise, and VTV, the country's national television broadcaster, ensuring nationwide engagement and coverage.

As the centrepiece of the honouring, an illustration depicting a giant numeral 7 formed by the traditional boats of Ha Long Bay has been unveiled. The image is a creative visual concept celebrating the enduring connection between the Vietnamese people, the world and this New 7 Wonder of Nature.

Representing New7Wonders, the Director Jean-Paul de la Fuente is participating in Ha Noi and Ha Long Bay, reinforcing the organisation's long-standing relationship with Viet Nam and its commitment to promoting the positive global impact of the world's wonders.

Ha Long Bay is a powerful example of how global recognition can translate into lasting benefits for local people while showcasing Viet Nam to the world. We are honoured to celebrate this official 7 Wonders Day together with our partners and with the Vietnamese people."
