The 8th edition of the International Travel
Expo (ITE) will be held at the Sai Gon Exhibition and Convention Centre in HCM

event on the last day.
ITE
HCMC 2012 expects to gather over 200 participating companies from more than 30
countries and anticipates 18,000 to 20,000 international and regional visitors.
Organisers
said that the exhibition will provide a good opportunity for travel operators
to launch inbound and outbound travel businesses in the Greater Mekong
Sub-Region (GMS) and travelers to enjoy massive promotions and discounts
extended especially for the event.
The
organising committee, comprising the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism
(VNAT), the HCM City Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, VINEXAD and IIR
Exhibitions, has put together a series of new and exciting features and
programmes for the exhibition, catering to tourism industry professionals,
dignitaries, ministries and the general public.
In
conjunction with the exhibition, a ministerial conference will be held for the
first time to congregate top ministries and tourism experts to share their
insights on inbound and outbound tourism through face-to-face dialogues.
The
conference will expose participants to thought-provoking sessions, presenting
them with the knowledge they require to penetrate their potential markets.
Along
with the conference, seminars on interesting topics pertaining to current
trends and the future of tourism will be held to attract buyers and sellers.

with the opportunity to obtain knowledge of recent developments and understand
the business potential within the region.

focusing on the luxury travel segment, golf tours, cruise services, special
attractions and education and medical tourism. These pavilions will be among
the main highlights at ITE HCMC as they are key segments within the tourism
