The Viet Nam International Travel Mart (VITM) 2013 closed after four days of events, attracted more than 40,000 visitors and tour buyers. In addition, businesses sold more than 6,000 tours and about 8,000 low-cost air tickets.

According to the organizing board, VITM 2013 drew 368 booths and about 1,200 companies, who attended the event to seek cooperation opportunities. Specifically, this is the first time the event sold tours directly to visitors. However, tour and air ticket buying demand was very high, and businesses were not able to satisfy all of it.

The event offered opportunities for domestic tourism companies and international travel agencies to meet and sign cooperating contracts to help localities introduce their tourist products as well as their tourism potential.

VITM is assessed as a significant event of the domestic tourism sector this year, succeeding in stimulating tourism demand and connecting major tourism localities to join hands to build a trademark for Viet Nam’s tourism.
