Vietnam's largest tourism expo to take place in October

As many as 450 travel and tourism companies turn inside and outside the country are expected to take part in the 2009 Ho Chi Minh City International Tourist Exhibition scheduled for Oct. 1-3.

The organisers reported on June 3 that this will be the largest tourism expo ever hosted by the country and will offer local tourism agencies and businesses the opportunity to introduce their products and expand links with partners from other potential markets.

ITE HCMC will serve as a forum for the ministers of tourism from Laos Cambodia and Vietnam to develop policies on investment, cooperation and mutual assitance in this field.

As part of the annual expo, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism will hold an international tourism investment conference to provide investors with the latest information on tourism projects in the three countries.
