The Ho Chi Minh City International Tourism Fair is increasingly asserting its position as the leading international tourism fair in Vietnam and the Mekong sub-region. "ITE HCMC is an opportunity for countries in the Mekong region such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and international organizations to converge in Ho Chi Minh City," stated Mr. Hoang Tuan Anh, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
ITE HCMC 2016 is the most prestigious tourism event in the Mekong region, focusing on meetings between buyers and sellers. The Hosted Buyer Programme will be designed to be attractive and effective in attracting international and regional buyers to the Fair. Buyers will proactively schedule online appointments with sellers one month before the Fair; in addition, international buyers will have the opportunity to explore and experience new tourist routes and destinations in Vietnam after the event, thereby providing a basis for developing unique tourism products for the international tourist market.
Over the three days, the event is expected to include the following programs and activities: Opening Ceremony - Gala Dinner (Vietnam Night); Mekong Tourism Alliance Awards (MTAA) ceremony; Destination presentation workshop for buyers; ACMECS Responsible Tourism Forum; Travel Fun Fair Day; and Workshop on key international tourist markets.
