The only Vietnamese representative teams from Hoang Thanh Thang Long and Trang An, both from Hoa Binh University, were awarded the third and consolation prizes respectively.
They were able to outperform the other 576 contenders in Asia to place among the Top 20, alongside representatives from the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Macau (China), Tajikistan, and Vietnam.
Each team put on a 10-minute presentation detailing solutions aimed at preserving cultural heritage and boosting tourism in the Asian region.
The Contest was first launched by UNESCO in late 2022, with the final round taking place from April 22 to April 26 in Guangzhou, China.
