Along with face-to-face meetings between hospitality companies and agencies, the agenda will also include a programme presenting famous tourist destinations in Vietnam and new tourist products and services. New State policies in tourism development will also be introduced to audiences.

All events will conclude with a feast of Vietnamese cuisine.

Last year, among 12.9 million international tourists visiting Vietnam were more than 138,000 visitors from Canada and 614,000 from the US. The figure from the US includes a significant number of overseas Vietnamese.
