This is the first time the image of HCM City has been featured on the American TV channel.
The adverts have been broadcast three times day in Asia-Pacific and North American regions and will run until December 29.
The city tourism authorities hope that the cooperation with CNN in promoting its tourism will help attract more international tourists from key tourism markets in the world and increase the return visitor rate.
The city’s tourism sector has made efforts to diversify tourism products throughout the year and affirm its role as the country’s largest tourism hub.
The city welcomed 3 million foreign tourist arrivals and nearly 28 million domestic visitors in the first 11 months of this year.
Tourism revenue totaled more than 117 trillion VND (4.88 billion USD)./.
