Expected to be a spotlight in tourism promotion activities, 16th International Travel Expo Ho Chi Minh City (ITE HCMC 2022) was officially opened on September 8, 2022, at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), District 7, Ho Chi Minh City.
After two stress-filled pandemic years, ITE HCMC 2022 was proud to return with the theme "Growing Forward Together", which shows the attractiveness of the most prestigious international tourism event in the Mekong sub-region, thereby accelerating the tourism industry and making a breakthrough after the pandemic.
Vietnam's tourism industry sees the potential to grow significantly over the next five years, with an expectation of international tourism revenue to surpass pre-pandemic levels by 2024, becoming one of the major drivers of post-pandemic economic recovery.
ITE HCMC 2022 is one of the practical recovery solutions for tourism after the pandemic by providing the opportunity for localities and tourism enterprises across the country to promote images, cultural values, resources, and unique products to tourists. Moreover, this event also strengthened the connection and collaboration between tourism organizations in the new normal, improving the competitiveness capacity of Vietnam compared to other countries in the region and around the world.
