The International Travel Expo HCMC 2024 (ITE HCMC 2024) is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City on September 5-7, the website of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee quoted the  municipal Department of Tourism as reporting. 

The event, themed “Responsible Travel - Creating Future”, is aimed at defining the strategic vision for the tourism sector of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City towards sustainability.

The expo has so far seen the participation registration of over 450 local and foreign exhibitors and 200 international buyers from 33 countries and territories.

One of the key tasks of the expo is to expand the international visitor market to Vietnam. Therefore, the travel expo will be a meeting point for domestic and international tourism businesses, especially those in the lower Mekong River countries, to seek business opportunities and provide diverse products to customers. It is also a place for units to access new products and business models, welcoming the "wave" of sustainable tourism development.

A series of workshops, forums and conferences will be held on the sidelines of the expo, discussing solutions to promote sustainable tourism development.
