The Special Significance of Vietnam Tourism Day – July 9

Vietnam Tourism Day was established in 1960, marking the birth of professional tourism in Vietnam. After 65 years of development, Vietnamese tourism has become one of the key economic sectors, contributing significantly to national GDP and creating employment for millions of workers.

In Can Tho City, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism organized a gathering of tourism enterprises to honor outstanding contributors to the industry’s development. The event served not only as an opportunity for businesses to network and share experiences but also to set new development directions for local tourism.
