According to organizers, Cambodia
and Myanmar will introduce their heritage tourism products, while the products
of Vietnam and Laos focus on sea tourism and ecotourism respectively. The four
countries will bring to the expo their typical products and jointly promote to
attract international tourists.
Nguyen Van Tuan, general director
of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), said at a press
conference in HCMC on Thursday that the tourism ministers of the four countries
would meet at the expo to discuss tourism cooperation.
After that, mayors of cities in
the Greater Mekong Sub-region, including Phnom Penh, Vientiane, Yangon, Bangkok

programs. But now we want to expand the scale and cooperate with countries of
the Mekong Sub-region to create a greater competitiveness,” said Tuan.
