At the ceremony, Mr. Vu The Binh, Chairman of the Vietnam Tourism Association, said that Vietnam is striving to become a strong and developed country, and tourism is becoming an important economic sector. The number of international tourists to Vietnam is increasing day by day, especially visitors from Korea and the Philippines.

To contribute to the rapid and sustainable increase in the number of tourists coming to Vietnam from these two important markets, the Vietnam Tourism Association coordinates with localities to organize the reception of travel business delegations from the two countries to Vietnam to survey new tourism products, meet with Vietnamese tourism businesses, and establish business cooperation relations in the spirit of openness, friendliness and mutual win-win. Vietnam will also promote the rapid increase in the number of Vietnamese tourists to Korea and the Philippines in the coming time...

Vice Chairman of Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee Tran Song Tung emphasized that the trade conference is an important opportunity for Ninh Binh tourism service businesses and Korean and Philippine partners to meet, exchange and seek cooperation opportunities. Ninh Binh always welcomes businesses, investors and international organizations to visit, learn and invest, especially in the fields of trade, services, tourism and human resource development with the desire for effective and sustainable cooperation.

The province is committed to always accompanying and creating the most favorable conditions for businesses and investors to effectively implement projects in the area. With rich tourism resources, hospitable people and an open investment environment, Ninh Binh believes it will be a favorite, safe and reliable destination for tourists and investors.

After the merger, the new Ninh Binh province not only expanded geographically, but also combined resources, culture and economy, creating a strong resonance effect. The infrastructure, transportation, accommodation and tourism service systems are increasingly complete, with many high-class hotels, resorts, restaurants and international standard tourist reception centers.

With more than 5,000 relics of all kinds, including 10 special national relics, 2 heritages honored by UNESCO, and 40 national intangible cultural heritages, Ninh Binh is always in the top 10 tourist destinations in Vietnam and the region, highly appreciated by international organizations and websites and received many prestigious and outstanding awards such as: Top 10 most attractive experiences in 2024; Top 10 friendliest destinations in the world; influential destinations in the world...
