Speaking at the opening ceremony, Standing Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Le Thanh Liem emphasized that the festival contributes to the recovery of the tourism industry in Ho Chi Minh City in particular, and other provinces and cities in general, in the new normal. The main purpose of the event is to stimulate domestic tourism, creating opportunities for consumers to visit and learn about the scenic spots of our country. This is also a practical activity to alleviate difficulties for tourist areas, businesses, and service establishments in Ho Chi Minh City as well as other localities.

“The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee highly appreciates the active participation of the City's Department of Tourism, travel agencies, restaurants, and hotels in Ho Chi Minh City, especially the response from other provinces and cities. Ho Chi Minh City always stands alongside localities and businesses to contribute to spreading the message of Vietnamese people traveling in Vietnam in an effective and practical way,” emphasized Comrade Le Thanh Liem.
