The Saigontourist Travel Service has coordinated with Vietnam's
Permanent Mission to the United Nations to organize a festival to advertise HCM
City tourism in New York.
Chairman of the HCM City municipal People’s Committee, Le Hoang Quan and head of
the Permanent Mission to the UN, Le Hoai Trung, attended the November 4 event
along with more than 200 invited guests from US travel agencies, overseas
Vietnamese, and staff from Vietnamese representative offices in New York City
attended the promotion.
Chairman Le Hoang Quan said HCM City considers promoting tourism as one of the
major tasks to introduce Vietnam and its people, culture, and society to the
world, as well as its historical sites, economic potential, and achievements to
call for investment in its renewal process.
Every year, HCM City organizes promotional tourism events such as the
Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia tourism fair and an international tourism fair that
attract nearly 140 domestic and foreign travel agencies.
The city received 2.9 million foreign visitors in October 2011 and it expects to
welcome 3.4 million in 2012.
Visitors to the event had the opportunities to watch films introducing HCM City,
its residents, tourist destinations and achievements and traditional Vietnamese
food.
