According to information from the press conference on August 14 in Ho Chi Minh City, ITE HCMC 2025 has the participation of more than 250 exhibitors and 240 international partners from 40 countries.

The 19th Ho Chi Minh City International Tourism Fair not only marks the steady development of Vietnam's tourism industry but also affirms Ho Chi Minh City's position as a leading tourism center in Asia.

With the theme "Sustainable Tourism, Immersive Experiences", ITE HCMC 2025 focuses on promoting green, distinctive tourism products, while connecting domestic businesses with leading international tourism corporations.

Notably, this year’s International Buyers program attracted many big names such as Intrepid Travel (Australia), Collette (USA), G Adventures (Canada), and Trip.com (China). This is an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to expand their market, approach the high-end customer segment, and build long-term cooperation.

In addition to B2B trading activities, the fair also organizes a series of specialized events such as the High-level Tourism Forum, the Destination Branding Workshop, and the FAM Trip program to survey typical destinations such as Ho Tram and Con Dao. Technology is also strongly applied with an online appointment booking system and an AI-integrated mobile application, helping to optimize the experience for attendees.

Speaking at the press conference, Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa - Director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism emphasized: "ITE HCMC 2025 is a strategic bridge, helping Vietnam tourism attract high-quality international visitors, while promoting sustainable development. Ho Chi Minh City is committed to becoming an attractive, safe and unique destination."
