After more than 3 months since the idea of organizing a program to promote Vietnamese tourism combined with cinema in the US was widely announced, the program has initially come true with the plan just signed by Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ho An Phong.
It has received the attention of organizations and businesses with expectations to contribute to promoting cooperation and development of tourism and cinema when promising to attract the participation of many large organizations and businesses from Vietnam and the US.
According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the program will take place in the third and fourth quarters of 2024 in San Francisco and Los Angeles and California, including a series of diverse activities, linking tourism promotion with cinema, culture and cuisine.
Along with units from Vietnam, the program will be attended by a number of tourism and film organizations, large tourism corporations and businesses, media corporations, airlines, cruise lines and related partners from the US.
The event is expected to attract American visitors to Vietnam, striving to achieve the goal of welcoming 1.3 million American visitors in 2028 and putting the US in the top three markets sending visitors to Vietnam.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the US was among the top five markets sending international tourists to Vietnam, with long stays and high spending./.
