Vietnam attends Moscow Int’l Travel and Tourism Exhibition

Thirteen Vietnamese companies have joined 3,000 travel businesses worldwide at the 16th Moscow International Travel and Tourism Exhibition (MITT) in Russia from March 18-21.

Head of the Vietnamese delegation to the MITT-16 Ho Hong Lien, who is also expert from the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, said despite the global economic crisis, Vietnamese companies still come to the event as Russia is a potential market for Vietnam’s tourism sector.

Representative of the Saigontourist Travel Service Company Ho Huu Loc said his firm is offering special promotion programmes for foreign tourists, especially Russians, adding that Russian holiday makers currently account for 10 percent of the company’s customers.

Saigontourist has been attending the MITT since the 11th event and the number of Russian travelers choosing the company service has risen each year, Loc said./.
