VITM 2018 expects to welcome 679 businesses and tourism agencies
The 6th Vietnam International Travel Mart (VITM 2018) will attract around 679 businesses and tourism agencies from 45 provinces and cities across the country, and 21 countries around the world have registered to join the event.
This was announced by Vice Chairman Vietnam Tourism Association (VITA) Vu The Binh at a press conference. VITM 2018 will be titled “Online travel, Vietnam tourism looks toward the fourth industrial revolution” and will last from March 29 to April 1.
VITM 2018 will contain numerous activities encouraging enterprises to gain access to and grasp business opportunities in the digital era. A seminar themed “Online travel—inevitable trends of Vietnam’s tourism” will take place and attract 1,000 delegates, together with pavilions for 10 online travel agencies.
Notably, several units have registered to organise large-scale pavilions, including South Korea (270sq.m), Hanoi (180sq.m), Vietravel (252sq.m), and Hanoi Redtours (126sq.m).
Following the success of VITM 2017, an international street food festival will be held as well with 20 booths, offering visitors signature street food from Vietnam and other countries. In addition, more than 40,000 low-budget air tickets and 15,000 discounted package tours will be on offer at the fair.
Last year, VITM 2017 titled “Hanoi—Destination for Vietnamese Tourism” drew the participation of 652 businesses and tourism agencies from 43 cities and provinces across Vietnam and nearly 30 countries and territories around the world. The event was estimated to attract some 60,000 person-times of visitors with over 3,000 enterprises operating in the tourism sector.
Vietnamese tourism will take drastic and synchronous measures in 2018 to reach the target of receiving 15-17 million international tourists, the Government said at a recent online meeting with cities and provinces nationwide.
In general, tourism activities in 2017 showed impressive results. The tourism industry has adopted many policies and measures to attract tourists, with promotions and the introduction of Vietnam in key markets such as Australia, Japan, Europe, and the ASEAN, as well as providing visa exemptions for five Western European countries. The country also increased participation at international tourism fairs and invited a great number of foreign tourism delegations.
Vietnam has welcomed 12.9 million international tourists during 2017, up 29.1% against 2016, according to the latest figures from the General Statistics Office.
