During the festival, various special culture, entertainment and art activities will be held along the Saigon River to promote the land, people and tourism of the city, along with consumption stimulation programs.
These activities will take place in different locations like the Saigon Cruise Port, the Bach Dang Wharf Park, the Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe Canal area, the Binh Dong Wharf, and the Suoi Tien Cultural Tourist Area, said Director of the city Department of Tourism Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa.
The highlight of the festival will be an art program depicting the Saigon River – a “witness” of the formation and development of Saigon– Gia Dinh, which was named after President Ho Chi Minh on July 2, 1976.
The festival will create an opportunity for travel companies to introduce their products and services to domestic and foreign tourists, including tours from HCMC to southwestern and southeastern localities./.
