Mekong named a best-value destination

Viet Nam's Mekong Delta has been chosen among the 10 best-value destinations for 2015 by Rough Guides, a British publisher of travel and reference guides.

The country's rice basket is sixth in the list, which also features Kosovo, the Peak district in the UK, the Canary Islands in Spain, Karnataka in India, Northern Ireland, Alentejo in Portugal, Northwestern China, Oaxaca in Mexico and Queens in the US.

The rankings are based on economy, the experience and the ability of travellers to integrate and explore the daily life and culture of local people.
