Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, Chairman of the World Records Union and Chief Editor of the India Book of Records, awarded two prestigious world records to the Sun Group of Vietnam on February 12, 2026 at the official opening of Sun World Vung Tau, Vietnam’s newest and most exciting tourist destination.
The records were conferred at a special ceremony held at 9:00 a.m. The event, organised under the adjudication of the World Records Union which includes India Book of Records and Vietnam Book of Records, celebrated the groundbreaking achievements of Sun World Vung Tau, which promises to redefine the water park experience for visitors worldwide. Dr. Chowdhury, in his keynote address, highlighted the significance of amusement parks in children’s development. He emphasised that when children visit water parks, it should not be viewed solely from the perspective of amusement. He explained that there are two dimensions to consider: threat, which brings fear, and thrill, which brings excitement. When these emotions occur together, even briefly, they trigger hormonal changes in children’s bodies, leading to the development of survival instincts and enhancement of brain power. Thus, visiting amusement parks is not only entertaining but also contributes to strengthening children’s survival instincts.
