their cooperation in the field.
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.
