Vietnamese travel companies are vital to the increasing number of local businesspeople leaving the country as well as the influx of foreign visitors inspired by Viet Nam’s integration.
Increasing numbers of Vietnamese businesspeople are becoming business-tourists by booking foreign tours with popular tourism companies to exploit and promote business opportunities abroad. The increase is attributed to new opportunities brought about by Viet Nam’s World Trade Organisation (WTO) accession and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Ha Noi next week.
HCM City travel agencies have reported a recent surge in foreign tour bookings to Asian countries by Vietnamese conducting business research and seeking investment partners. The rush reportedly began late last month when Viet Nam finished multilateral WTO negotiations.
