The event is also said to be a good opportunity for businesses as well as local organizations to effectively market their tourism products, as well as contribute to promoting the national tourism brands among the ASEAN community.

ASEAN, of which Vietnam is a member, is one of the country’s most important tourism markets and partners.

In 2019, visitors from other ASEAN member states to Vietnam reached nearly 2.1 million, accounting for about 11.6% of the total number of foreign arrivals.

Vietnam advocates multilateral cooperation within the ASEAN framework, as it plays an important role in the country’s international cooperation, especially in tourism.
