(VOVworld) – Vietnam International Tourism Mart 2017, themed “Hanoi - Destination of Vietnam”, closed last weekend after four days attracting 61,000 visitors. More than 20,070 domestic and international tours were sold at the mart, worth 9 million USD. Mr Luu Duc Ke, Director of the Hanoitourist Travel Company, said: “The fair was a success as it is now a high time to sell tours. Hanoitourist is committed to offering the best tourism products because we think the quality of the tours is much more important than the number of tours.”

Domestic travel agencies like Vietravel, Saigontourist, and Hanoitourist and travel agencies from South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Cambodia set up beautifully designed booths. There was an International Street Food Festival for the first time with street foods from South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Mexico, Italy, the US, the Philippines and Vietnam.

At the closing ceremony, ten travel agencies received awards from the Vietnam Tourism Association.
