The dossier includes curriculum vitae, an application for the Tourism Ambassador position, qualification diplomas and a report on activities related to the promotion of culture, tourism, sport or certificates of merits for social and professional activities.

Tinh says that based on the candidate list, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will consult relevant agencies and journalists specializing in culture and tourism to make its decision in early March.

Earlier, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism received the independent candidate profile of Miss Tourism Huynh Thi Ngoc Han.

This candidate has two master's degrees in International Business and Public Relations in Australia and an international student ambassador in Brisbane (Queensland). She was granted a certificate of merit by the Mayor of Brisbane for her outstanding contributions as an international student ambassador.

Ngoc Han is working in the area of community relations for the Brisbane City Council and an international business consultant in Australia.

As the Tourism Ambassador 2012, actress and businesswoman Ly Nha Ky says that she is willing to continue to serve as the Ambassador of Tourism in 2013-2014.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has said that actress Ly Nha Ky well fulfill her role and was very enthusiastic for the promotion of tourism at home and abroad in 2012.

As the fund for promoting Vietnam's tourism is still limited, Ly Nha Ky organized several events and seminars abroad to promote tourism by her own money, especially to call for votes for Ha Long Bay as a new natural wonder of the world.
According to some local newspapers, there are two qualified candidates for this post, singer My Tam and Miss Sports Thu Huong. However, they have not applied for the position yet.

If there are only two candidates, the advantage is in favor of actress Ly Nha Ky. While Huynh Thi Ngoc Han is studying and working in Australia and not many people know about her, the name and images of Ly Nha Ky has "covered" the media for a long time.
