Air tickets with attracting prices to these locations are also on offer.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, President of the CPTA Yuji Fujita said CPTA
members gather on an annual basis to put forth ideas and conduct tourism
promotion activities together.
He hoped Hanoi residents and tourists to the event can find useful information
on the destinations they are looking forward to visit.
Tran Duc Hai, Director of the Hanoi Tourism Department, said the exhibition
fosters connectivity and experience exchanges for the development of
sustainable tourism.
