HCM City programmes stimulate consumer demand
An array of
programmes are taking place in Ho Chi Minh City with the aim of
increasing year-end consumer demand as the Lunar New Year festival is
nearing.
Some 150 businesses are showcasing their
consumer goods, household utensils, handicrafts, garments, cosmetics,
and processed food at a six-day fair of prestigious trademarks that was
opened on November 29.
To protect businesses and
consumers’ rights, the event also displays genuine and fake goods to
help visitors differentiate between them and offers consultancy on
intellectual property and brand infringement prevention. A workshop on
the issue will be also held.
From December 1-31,
the municipal Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and Industry
and Trade will organise a shopping programme at Crescent Mall Trade
Centre in District 7.
About 500 businesses will
showcase a wide range of commodities and services at nearly 1,000
outlets during the event with discounts of up to 50 percent.-VNA
