"Vietnamese businesses are among the over 10,000 international travel firms at this year’s event. What does Vietnam hope to achieve from its exchanges with international friends?" - Sedat Tatli, Vice Chairman, Der Touristik Tourism Group.
"This is a chance to promote our products, expand operations, explore collaborations, and extend partnerships. More importantly, we can learn from the experience of international partners." - Nguyen Van Tuan, Director, Vietnam Administration of Tourism, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
On the first day of ITB Berlin 2016, Vietnamese representatives received Secretary-General of the United Nations World Tourism Organization, Taleb Rifai.
Vietnam welcomed nearly 8 million international visitors in 2015, the foundation for this year’s target of 8.5 million. The country plans to achieve this with favourable customs policies and attractive products.
