Introducing Vietnamese tourism at the event, the diplomat said tourists can find Indian cultural features at local Indian restaurants and at ancient Hindu temples in Ho Chi Minh City and My Son Sanctuary in Hoi An.
Vietnam has adequate services to server visitors’ demand for shopping, entertainment, cuisine exploration, honeymoon and conference participation, he said.
Chau took the occasion to invite Indian tour operators and travel agencies to join Vietnamese tourism promotion activities and expand their operation in Vietnam.
