On the afternoon of March 7, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism signed cooperation agreements with the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham) for the period 2022-2024 in Ho Chi Minh City. According to the agreement, the two sides will support each other to promote the development of MICE tourism (tourism combining conferences, seminars, exhibitions, event organization, corporate incentive tourism for employees and partners) and culinary tourism. At the same time, cooperation will strengthen market research activities, tourism statistics, human resource training as well as sharing methods and experiences in tourism management and operation...
The cooperation also allows the city's tourism sector to increase opportunities to expand direct channels to promote the city's image to European companies and citizens in Vietnam as well as abroad.
Mr. Alain Cany - Chairman of EuroCham - said that Vietnam's full reopening to international tourism from March 15 is the best news that the European business community has been waiting for in the past two years.
In 2022, Ho Chi Minh City tourism aims to welcome 3.5 million international visitors, of which European visitors are one of the city's important markets.
