At the same time, Ms. Phuong also emphasized that the all-in-one model is one of the effective solutions to enhance the competitiveness of destinations and attract high-quality international tourists in the post-APEC period through four core values: improving accommodation capacity and the ability to accommodate large-scale international tourists; extending the length of stay through an integrated experience ecosystem; enhancing the capacity to accommodate MICE tourists and large-scale international events; and expanding access to high-quality international tourist sources.

Mr. Nguyen Vu Khac Huy, Chairman of the An Giang Tourism Association, shared that in the context of increasing competition among destinations based on experiences and identity, culture needs to be positioned as a strategic resource for tourism development.
