HCM City to host 1st int’l tourism investment meeting

Ho Chi Minh City will host the first ever international tourism investment meeting between September 30 and October 1 in an effort to introduce tourism development potentials of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.
Entitled “Three nations, one destination” the meeting will be attended by ranking government delegations from the three countries, international partners and travel agents around the world, according to the municipal Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
It will also discusses activities related to investment and tourism development in the three countries.
Held against the backdrop of the world’s economic recession and the decrease of tourism demand, and thereby limited tourism investment, the event is expected to help tourism promotion agents of all levels in the three countries to introduce their latest development strategies to international investors and travel agents.
The meeting is part of the 5th International Tourism Exhibition scheduled to be held from October 1-3 in the city.
The exhibition is expected to attract 150 international travel agents from 15 countries and territories in the world.
