HCM City (VNA) - The 18th International Travel Expo Ho Chi Minh City – ITE HCMC 2024 will emphasise creating opportunities for businesses to find partners and showcase tourism products and services to both domestic and international visitors, the municipal Tourism Department announced on August 9.
Accordingly, the hybrid expo, lasting from September 5 to 7, aims to accelerate the recovery and growth of the southern economic hub's tourism sector.
Themed “Responsible Travel – Creating Future,” it plans a variety of activities promoting key tourist destinations and services in Vietnam, with a goal of expanding the international tourist market and increasing the flow of visitors between countries to optimise tourism revenue.
To date, the organiser has registered around 500 domestic and international exhibitors, who will showcase travel destinations, tourism technology, and products.
The event is expected to welcome around 220 international buyers from over 45 countries and territories, including senior executives from travel agencies, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) organisers, luxury travel companies, and other key stakeholders interested in the Vietnamese market.
