NDO – The first Vietnam Tourism Development Linkage Forum will be held in Ho Chi Minh City from August 8-9, promising to be a strong start for the close cooperation among tourism enterprises throughout the city in particular and the whole country in general.

The forum will be an opportunity not only for the enterprises to meet directly, exchange and promote their products and services as well as specialities and souvenirs but also for the localities and international partners to discuss new and attractive tourism products.

The forum, with 100 pavilions, will draw the participation of representatives from the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, tourism administrations from foreign countries, local tourism associations, enterprises and partners in the domestic and international tourism sector.
