In his remarks, Ambassador Phan Chi Thanh said the countries’ tourism cooperation, including medical tourism, sees great potential and favourable conditions for development to benefit locals and international travelers.
The diplomat stated that HCM City is not only a leading economic and political hub but also a notable destination for medical tourism. With a modern and high-quality healthcare system, coupled with the continuous development of local health facilities, the city is expected to become an ideal destination for visitors seeking to improve their health and experience excellent treatments.

However, there is still much work to be done in developing the related infrastructure and brands in order to find a unique path for future development, he noted.
Before Thailand, the HCM City delegation of more than 20 local travel agencies and hospitals, headed by Hieu, came to Phnom Penh for a similar promotion programme./.
