Themed “Online tourism - Vietnam moves towards Industry 4.0”, the mart aims to accelerate the application of information and technology (IT) in the daily business activities of travel enterprises.
An exclusive exhibition area will be set up by online travel businesses as well as agencies that provide technological solutions for tourism.
This year’s VITM will also feature workshops in which both domestic and foreign experts will share their experience on the development of online tourism in several IT and travel businesses, such as mobile internet, smart apps, Big Data and automation.
So far, 679 enterprises from 45 provinces and cities from across the country, as well as 21 countries and territories from around the world, have registered to join the mart. The event is expected to consist of 500 pavilions.
The International Street Food Festival will be one of the highlights of the festival, introducing street food from Vietnam and other countries in the region. A ceremony will also be held to honour Vietnamese culinary artisans and chefs for their contributions.
Notably, over 40,000 cheap tickets and approximately 15,000 promotional tours will be provided at VITM 2018.
