Covid-19 is putting the global travel and tourism industry under immense pressure and creating opportunities in Vietnam as the country redevelops its domestic market. Vietnam has seen some early success in virus containment and economy starting to reopen. Vietnam needs a boost in these trouble times and a guide to understand the business nature and common practices is therefore essential.
Join selected experts from the Tourism and Hospitality industry at our event who will share ideas on how hotels and companies are mapping their way out of the crisis. The seminar is focused on the exchange of knowledge exchange via a panel discussion themed “Tourism Sector Ideas for Growth in Trouble Times”, followed by a Q&A session.
