The challenge of how to create a unique and profound Vietnamese cultural experience for tourists is still a concern for those working in the tourism industry.

The number of visitors to HCMC in the first months of this year sharply increased, said Director of the municipal Tourism Department Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa at a conference on the plan for tourism development of the city that was held on April 4.

International tourism in Vietnam has not picked up as expected after the country reopened again to welcome visitors after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Director of the HCMC Tourism Department, Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa said that the department will continue to diversify tourist products to attract domestic and international visitors to HCMC.

Since the beginning of the year, Vietnam has welcomed over 2.2 million international visitors, with Ho Chi Minh City alone welcoming more than 2 million foreign visitors. However, compared to some countries, such as Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia, which have received over 7.56 million, 3.74 million, and 4.5 million arrivals, respectively, Vietnam's tourism recovery rate is still slow. Businesses and many management agencies explained that one of the reasons is the less attractive visa policies.

The International Travel Expo Ho Chi Minh City 2022 (ITE HCMC 2022) opened on the afternoon of September 9 to welcome people and tourists to visit and buy tours. The event is considered to have a strong attraction and is a bright spot for tourism promotion in HCMC in particular and Vietnam, in general, to international friends.

Over the past week, many international delegations have visited Ho Chi Minh City for entertainment and seminars, helping the tourism market become more vibrant. The Department of Tourism of HCMC estimates that the tourism industry will possibly complete its goal of welcoming 3.5 million international visitors this year soon.

Waterway tourism is one of the new products that HCMC is promoting in order to facilitate recovery of its tourism industry. 

Many airlines and tourism companies informed yesterday that they are introducing millions of flight tickets, interesting tours to serve tourists this summer, along with attractive promotions from 10-40 percent. It is expected that the number of holidaymakers will increase significantly in the near future compared to this time 2019.

The Vietnamese tourism industry is a large market that needs to be built sustainably with long-term plans, and not just for national holidays.
