Ho Chi Minh City will host the first ever international tourism investment meeting from September 30 to October 1, 2009 in an effort to introduce tourism development potentials of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.
Entitled “Three nations, one destination,” the meeting will be attended by ranking government delegations from the three countries, international partners and travel agents around the world, according to the municipal Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
It will also discuss activities related to investment and tourism development in the three focal countries.
Held against the backdrop of the world’s economic recession and the decrease of tourism demand, and thereby limited tourism investment, the event is expected to help tourism promotion agents of all levels in the three countries to introduce their latest development strategies to international investors and travel agents.
The meeting is part of the 5th International Travel Expo scheduled to be held from October 1-3 in the city.
The show is expected to attract 150 international travel agents from 15 countries and territories in the world.
