The ITE HCMC 2014 edition, “Five countries, one destination”, was initiated by the Mekong Tourism Alliance, which includes Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, and aims to tap into the region’s tourism potential and strengthen cooperation between the Mekong countries regarding tourism development.
As part of ITE HCMC 2014, a lantern boat festival themed “HCM City - brimming with life” will take place along the Saigon River for the first time.
Furthermore, the exhibition’s organising board will grant Mekong Tourism Alliance Awards to businesses excelling in tourism in each of the five countries.
