In Vietnam, the MICE tourism sector is on an upward trajectory, proving to be a life source for domestic tourism companies during the coronavirus upheaval that shut down a large part of the industry.
Fostering the MICE market has been among the top goals of Vietnamese tourism’s development strategy with a vision for 2030, which was endorsed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
With established infrastructure and a booming business ecosystem, Ho Chi Minh City is emerging as a spearhead of MICE tourism in the Southeast Asian country.
MICE could be a ground for Ho Chi Minh City tourism to bounce back and thrive after the pandemic, said the municipal Department of Tourism.
