Vice Chairman of the HCMC People’s Committee Phan Thi Thang said that besides strengthening tourism cooperation with provinces and cities nationwide, the southern economic hub has also promoted local tourism. HCMC is not only a transit hub to other destinations in the country but also an attractive place for visitors to explore lesser-known attractions.
