VOVNews and the UNESCO Gastronomy Club held an online exchange entitled Training Chefs in Ho Chi Minh City on June 15, attracting Vietnamese food experts, leading chefs, tourism managers and students from the local tourism services school.

With approximately 2,700 dishes from 54 ethnic groups, Vietnam is an ideal address for domestic and foreign connoisseurs of food. How to preserve and develop the traditional culinary art is an important issue for the tourism sector. To do this, it is imperative to train skilled chefs to promote the image of Vietnamese dishes around the world.
