Vietnam is currently an ideal destination for Filipinos, with the number of visitors increasing every year. In 2024, the total number of Filipino visitors to Vietnam increased by 73.6% compared to the previous year. Previously, only Philippine Airlines and Cebu Airlines operated direct flights between Vietnam and the Philippines with limited frequency, but now Cebu alone has 2 flights per day on the Manila - Hanoi , Manila - Ho Chi Minh City routes, and one flight per day on the Manila - Da Nang route. In addition, Cebu is also applying for permission to open a direct flight from Cebu to Da Nang. Not lagging behind the trend, Vietnam Airlines has also resumed flights from Manila to Hanoi and Manila to Ho Chi Minh City since June 2024 with a frequency of 3 flights per week on the Manila - Hanoi route and 4 flights per week on the Manila - Ho Chi Minh City route, and now increased to 01 flight per day on the Manila - Hanoi route, with the plan to open a direct flight of Vietnam Airlines from Manila to Da Nang.
The increase in tourism activities as well as direct flights between the two countries also promotes and opens up opportunities for trade and investment cooperation. Currently, besides tourism, Philippine businesses and entrepreneurs also want to go to Vietnam to seek opportunities for trade and investment development. And this is also one of the new points, an opportunity for the Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines to mobilize and invite delegations of associations and Philippine businesses to travel to Vietnam, and at the same time seek opportunities for trade and investment cooperation with domestic businesses.
Delegation of Philippine associations and businesses came to seek trade and investment cooperation opportunities and attend the Vietnam International Trade Fair
Implementing the 2025 work program, the Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines, based on the direction of the Minister and the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Trade , the Department of Foreign Market Development, the Trade Promotion Agency and functional units, coordinated with Vinexad Advertising and Trade Fair Joint Stock Company to invite and support the organization of a delegation of 24 representatives of Philippine associations and enterprises to Vietnam to seek opportunities for trade and investment cooperation and participate in the 34th Vietnam International Trade Fair - VIETNAM EXPO.
VIETNAM EXPO is an annual trade promotion event with a long history in Vietnam, starting in 1991, chaired by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, directed by the Trade Promotion Agency and organized by Vinexad Company. VIETNAM EXPO has gradually affirmed its role and influence when domestic enterprises and international trade promotion organizations choose to participate to introduce products, expand business and exploit investment opportunities in the Vietnamese market.
In order to open up connection opportunities between businesses of Vietnam and the Philippines, the Organizing Committee has requested the Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines to invite and support the organization of business delegations to attend the event.
The Philippine delegation consisted of 24 delegates representing many businesses in different industries, occupations, and business fields, from food processing and trading to consumer electronics, tools, machinery, and services. Specifically, they included representatives of companies/enterprises Lanlite Philippines Corporation; WB Electrical Trading Inc.; HK Sanghai Food Products Inc.; Sky Law Office; J-Channel Ingredients; Society Glass and Gabriel Builders Inc.; Batangas Asahi Mktg Corporation; Fedeco Equipment Sale & Broker Inc.; Orisia Merchandising Co. Inc.; Smartcard Technik Inc.; RD Electronics Corporation; Pao Ying Food Inc.; House of Fashion; Steelworld Manufacturing; Global Lighting Philippines Inc.; Unicor Plas Corporation; Majestic Press Inc.
The delegation was organized by the Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines in coordination with Vinexad Company to meet and work to seek opportunities for trade and investment cooperation with a number of trade promotion units and domestic enterprises, visit industrial parks and a number of facilities and factories in Vietnam before participating in the Vietnam International Trade Fair taking place from April 2 to 4, 2025.
In a quick exchange with the Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines, some delegates and Filipino businessmen expressed their amazement at the potential and remarkable development of Vietnam, from modern high-rise office buildings, connecting transport infrastructure, modern highways, safe environment, peaceful landscape, modern lifestyle while still preserving the inherent cultural features. More importantly, the delegates all felt the open and sincere welcome of the Vietnamese people as well as the great opportunities for cooperation in trade and investment with Vietnamese enterprises. Hopefully, these will be the premises for the development of cooperation between Vietnamese and Philippine enterprises and even higher cooperation between Vietnam and the Philippines.
