Le Truong Hien Hoa, Deputy Director of the department, said that ITE HCMC 2025, with the theme “Sustainable Tourism - Vibrant Experiences,” aims to create breakthroughs in tourism. The event is expected to help tourism associations and domestic businesses enhance their competitiveness while enhancing the appeal of Vietnamese tourism compared to other countries in the region and the international market.
The ITE HCMC 2025 will feature 16 main activities, including trade connections, forums, conferences, and workshops.
Notably, from September 3-6, HCM City will also host the 12th General Assembly of the Tourism Promotion Organisation for Global Cities (TPO), which presents an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to expand cooperation, promote tourism, and boost the local economy.
