According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, the city is continuing to enhance services for business and event travellers, including transportation, conference and exhibition venues, accommodation, dining, cultural attractions and entertainment facilities.
Tourism offerings are also being expanded beyond the city centre to include river-based, coastal and eco-tourism destinations.
By providing more activities and experiences beyond business programmes, the city aims to encourage visitors attending conferences and exhibitions to extend their stays, increasing tourism spending and supporting the local economy.
The department said it would continue developing tourism products, improving service quality and promoting the destination under the theme “A destination of connectivity and value creation”.
The newly announced awards are expected to strengthen Ho Chi Minh City’s profile among international travellers, travel companies and global event organisers.
