According to a national tourism official, Vu The Binh, FTV will broadcast ads on Ha Long Bay in next year's second quarter to encourage people to vote for it as one of the world's seven natural wonders.

In addition, the FTV Diamond cruise ship will regularly anchor at ports in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Ha Long, with fashion shows featuring Vietnamese and foreign models to be screened on FTV.

Binh said the Government, local cruise travel companies and FTV were discussing further details to promote Vietnam tourism next year.
