As sustainability becomes a key competitive edge, ITE HCMC 2024 has embraced the theme “Sustainable Travel – Creating the Future” to highlight its significance.
“Vietnam offers many opportunities for sustainable tourism but faces challenges in meeting international sustainability criteria. ITE HCMC 2024 aims to provide practical insights and solutions from experts to aid businesses,” said Mr. Le Truong Hien Hoa, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism.
A series of workshops, conferences, and high-level forums will involve substantial participation from government officials, representatives from the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, regional tourism authorities, international travel agencies, MICE operators, luxury travel companies, and restaurants.
Taking the Lead in Collaboration and Expanding Vietnam’s International Tourism Market
Mr. Le Truong Hien Hoa, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, said, “ITE HCMC 2024 offers an ideal platform for travel and hospitality businesses to connect, explore, and expand their partnerships. This collaborative approach aligns perfectly with the Vietnamese government’s broader goal of transforming tourism into a leading economic sector, advancing green growth, and establishing the country as a premier destination.”
ITE HCMC 2024 aims to expand Vietnam’s international tourism market and increase tourism revenue by fostering global partnerships. Featuring over 500 exhibitors from both domestic and international sectors, the event promotes collaboration among tourism agencies, businesses, and service providers.
Ho Chi Minh City plays a pivotal role in national tourism, drawing nearly 300 participants from 38 provinces across Vietnam. The event has also garnered international interest from countries and regions including South Korea, Russia, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar.
As the only expo in Vietnam with an international hosted buyer program, ITE HCMC offers a unique opportunity to attract Product Managers specializing in leisure, corporate, MICE, luxury, and special interest travel from leading global companies. This initiative has the potential to significantly increase inbound tourism to Vietnam.
