ASEAN tourism forum set to open in Hanoi
Hanoi (VNA) - Around 400 foreign and local tourist agencies are expected to gather
at the ASEAN tourism forum scheduled to open in Hanoi on Jan. 5.
The eight-day ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) will include a raft of meetings between
ASEAN tourism ministers, executives of tourism agencies and dialogue partners.
The forum would serve as a venue for Vietnamese tourism agencies to seek and set
up cooperation with foreign partners, particularly those from potential markets
such as Australia, China, Japan and Russia, said Nguyen Van Tinh, director of the
Foreign Relations Department of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
"The event is considered a 'golden opportunity' for introducing Vietnam , its
land and people, to international friends," said Tinh.
The ATF has been held annually by ASEAN member countries since the first forum in
Malaysia in 1981.-Enditem
