Signing ceremony of cooperation agreement between Quang Ngai Department of Industry and Trade and Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Magazine

Speaking at the Conference, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Man, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Ngai , said that the Resolution of the Party Congress after the merger clearly stated that by 2030, Quang Ngai will become an industrial province. Therefore, in the near future, Quang Ngai will have international connectivity and trade, which is a very favorable condition.

Mr. Man believes that the signing of cooperation with Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Magazine will create momentum and spread the image of Quang Ngai industry and trade. This is the first step to lay the foundation for promoting and positioning the local image on the map of Vietnam. Along with industrial development, Quang Ngai also focuses on local products, typically Tra Bong cinnamon, Ly Son garlic with a unique flavor or precious Ngoc Linh ginseng.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Man, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Ngai province spoke at the Conference.

“I believe that the results of signing a media cooperation agreement with Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Magazine will bring good value to the industry and trade sector of Quang Ngai in particular and spread the image of Quang Ngai deeply and widely to international friends,” said Mr. Man.

Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Magazine is the only press agency in Vietnam currently with the ISSN scientific index - specialized in tourism. Recently, the Magazine has proactively connected and implemented cooperation programs with many localities in promoting the local image to readers nationwide as well as internationally.

From 2023 to present, the Magazine has cooperated with relevant departments in Ho Chi Minh City to promote the "Ho Chi Minh City OCOP Program" with hundreds of articles, in which OCOP products play the role of a "tourism ambassador".

OCOP products and local specialties are inseparable items in the tourist experience journey. Through these products, geographical indications of the destination are spread, local products have output, and tourists are satisfied with their spending desires.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Magazine, spoke at the Conference.

At the Conference, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Magazine, said that Quang Ngai is famous for Tra River goby fish, Ly Son garlic, and Sa Huynh salt.

Just in the story of Sa Huynh salt - the salt field has a history of hundreds of years with traditional production methods, it itself contains a wonderfully different story. Sa Huynh salt is recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage - the practice of making salt in the field alone is a special tourist experience product. From Sa Huynh salt products, Quang Ngai can completely think of developing products - preparations, local products associated with Sa Huynh salt - to add value, increase the value of the products.

After merging with Kon Tum, Quang Ngai has many more valuable products such as Ngoc Linh ginseng, Mang Den coffee or famous rare wild mushrooms... if developed in the right direction, it can completely become a national brand image, increasing export value. Meanwhile, sustainable development associated with the issue of clean energy - a task currently managed by the Department of Industry and Trade - is a key content in the communication strategy of Tourism Magazine in Quang Ngai.

Recently, Tourism Magazine has organized many seminars on green development, development towards Net Zero in Ho Chi Minh City, Khanh Hoa, and the northern mountainous provinces. This coming September, at the Ho Chi Minh City International Tourism Fair, we will continue to organize a forum on clean energy in tourism development. Quang Ngai has enough basis and is at the most appropriate time to consider a strategy on developing and using Clean Energy as a message of sustainable development.

On the same day, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Man, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Ngai province and Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Magazine agreed to sign a media cooperation agreement for the period 2025-2030. This event aims to create an information channel to introduce OCOP products, typical agricultural products, and typical rural industrial products to a large number of people at home and abroad.
