ITE HCMC - 2014 Madam NGUYEN THI HONG, vice chairwoman ho chi minh city people’s committee
The opening ceremony of the river lantern float parade festival (18:00 – Sept. 9, 2014 - Elisa Yacht) - Excellencies, - Distinguished guests, - Ladies and gentlemen, It is our great pleasure to welcome you all to the Festival of River Lantern Float Parade. It is organized for the first time by the City as part of the 10th Anniversary of Ho Chi Minh City International Travel Expo. The Festival is another undertaking in our efforts to strengthen tourism as a channel for rendezvous of friends from far and near as well as for sharing the beauty of cultural cores. Speaking for the city’s government and people, I would like to extend my warmest greetings and best wishes to all of you Excellencies, distinguished guests, members of the press, travel agencies and operators. Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that many of you have visited Ho Chi Minh City before but some are here for the first time. Nonetheless, I believe that you will quickly find out why Ho Chi Minh City has always remained a top economic, political and cultural hub of Vietnam. We are proud that Ho Chi Minh City is a major gateway of Vietnam to the outside world and the country’s largest destination for international visitors. Last year the city hosted over 4.1 million international visitor arrivals, and we hope that figure will increase to 4.4 million this year. Given its advantages and potential, the City has managed to offer tourists increasingly diverse, qualified and environment friendly products that leave them with fond memories and help make the city more and more attractive to tourists. Coming to Ho Chi Minh City, tourists will gain not only exciting cultural experiences but also appreciation of the glorious history of the Vietnamese people. On top of that, we offer opportunities for tourists to mingle with the locals, who are, as you will see, friendly, hospitable, dynamic and creative. Talking about our festive holidays, if you visit Ho Chi Minh City on the occasion of Tat - our traditional celebration of the lunar New Year, you would not want to miss the Flower Streets Festival, which
4
is imbued with splendid colors and warm affections. This festival is an annual event that has been organized for more than a decade and is much looked forward to by the locals each year when spring comes. If you join us at the Festival of Southern Culinary or the Festival of Southern Fruits, you will certainly be indulged in a rich variety of specialties that Mother Nature has blessed this tropical region. There are some fruits probably you won’t find them anywhere else but here in Vietnam. It is our desire that those holidays, those festivals would generate in tourists, foreign and domestic alike, a sense of grace to the nature as well as a sense of attachment to this Oriental city that is firmly moving forward on its path toward modernization and international integration without losing its own identity. In that spirit, we today launch the "Waterway Tourism" program, which we are striving to promote and expect to become a pillar in tourism of Ho Chi Minh City in the time to come. Touring around by
waterways, whether for a short or long distance, is poetic in its own right. Just imagine the feelings of floating up and down along the river. The boat will take you to different neighborhoods running along the river banks or winding along serene canals. Floating on, you will stop by peaceful villages hiding behind bamboo trees or clustering on islets that are lush in green. There in those villages along the waterways, tourists will sample special dishes of the area or fruits freshly picked from trees in luxuriant orchards. And from afar echoes back a sweet voice singing traditional “tài t ” melodies. The Festival of River Lantern Float Parade, which is going to commence in a few minutes, will usher in a new line of tourist products that are unique from our City. Ladies and gentlemen, In efforts to promote the development of tourism, I greatly appreciate the role of tourist operators and agencies in diversifying tourist products and improving the quality of services to visitors. The crowded presence of many international tourism businesses here today not only testifies to their interest in the tourism industry of Ho Chi Minh City, and Vietnam generally, but also presents opportunities for Vietnamese tourist stakeholders to exchange information and seek partners for future cooperation. I especially appreciate the attendance of members of the press at the ITE 2014. I hope you will join hands with us to capture amazing moments about the land and people of Vietnam and share with friends around the world. On behalf of the City’s leadership, I declare the first Ho Chi Minh City Festival of River Lantern Float Parade officially open. In this joyful atmosphere, I would like to invite you all to join me in a toast to the success of the first Festival of River Lantern Float Parade and the 10th International Travel Expo - Ho Chi Minh City. I wish all the ministers, mayors and distinguished guests who are present here tonight the best of health, success and happiness. Thank you.

Under the programs on advocating and promoting tourism of Ba Ria – Vung Tau, in recent 10 years, the industry has been proactive in attending tourism promotion programmes at fairs, exhibitions, events and so on taking place not only in Vietnam but also in other countries. Especially it should mention constant attendances at International Travel Expo Ho Chi Minh City organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Ho Chi Minh City. With the first presence in 2005, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the province has connected and coordinated with the provincial Travel Association consisting of member enterprises providing travel services in the province such as Vung Tau Tourist, OSC Vietnam, Intourco Vung Tau, Agribank Tour, Anoasis Resort, DIC Tour, Saigon Binh Chau, Postage Tourism, etc and hotels, other units to organize the exhibition to introduce tourism destinations and products. Thanks to those attendances, potentiality and advantages of tourism of Ba Ria – Vung Tau have been promoted widely both domesti6
cally and internationally. Many enterprises in role of Sellers have signed many service contracts with Buyers as well as created the key connections between the regions and territories. Particularly, to meet the goal of bridging Vietnam’s market with other ASEAN countries under the theme “5 Countries - A Single Destination” set by ITE HCMC, Ba Ria – Vung Tau Provincial People’s Committee has organized 02 promotion trips to Cambodia (2011) and Laos (2014) in order to strengthen cooperation, create a connection and develop the common tourism market in such potential Mekong Sub-region. Ba Ria – Vung Tau Tourism Industry’s presence at ITE HCMC not only brings chance to expand market, link with both national and international tourism organizations, enterprises but also wins a platform to exchange, share experience in organizing exhibitions, enhance quality of promotion activities at events with the aim to attract domestic and overseas tourists to the province.

Ho Chi Minh City highlights a new tourist attraction Reinhard Hohler, Chiang Mai (10.09.2014) Arriving in Tan Son Nhat International Airport on Vietnam Airlines flight VN600 from Bangkok on September 9, it was easy to see, why Ho Chi Minh City is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination. Being invited to attend ITE HCMC 2014, the largest and most established travel event in Viet Nam held at Saigon Exhibition & Convention Centre on September 11-13, delegates were heartily received by volunteers, quickly channeled through immigration and customs, and transported to their respective hotels, such as the centrally located Sofitel Saigon Plaza Hotel or the Rex Hotel. There was a pre-show city tour for hosted buyers and media in the afternoon, but there was not enough time to participate after checking in in the hotel. But there was enough time to relax and prepare for the welcome dinner, which was organized for Tourism Ministers and officials, as well as for Mayors and representatives of the 5 participating countries of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Actually, the welcome dinner was organized on the occasion of celebrating the 10th year anniversary of the annual Ho Chi Minh City International Travel Expo at the "Elisa" cruise ship, which is stationed at Saigon Port as a new tourist attraction in the city. The gorgeous cruise ship "Elisa" comes as floating restaurant and offers Vietnamese, Chinese, and European cuisine being created by famous chefs. But the main attraction
is the ship itself, which is constructed by armors, paneling wood with special design from shape to interior. Having 4 floors, working every demo is moved by elevator. Altogether, the ship can accommodate up to 1,000 guests. For this special night, the Ho Chi Minh City Government has organized an illuminated flotilla river parade, reviving the glorious battle on the Bach Dang River in Northern Viet Nam, when the Vietnamese fought and destroyed the ships of the invading Mongols at the end of the 13th century. Also, there were illuminated ships shown highlighting the typical landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City, such as the Notre Dame Cathedral, Opera House, City Hall and Central Post Office. Cambodia's Tourism Minister, H.E. Dr. Thong Khon, was the guest-ofhonor, while invited buyers and media from all over the world, such as India, Australia, Mexico and Europe, enjoyed the party, which ended at 21.00 o'clock. Most of the guests were too tired to attend the late night function at Grand Opus Hotel and were heading home under a diminishing full moon as its brightest. Finally, it is worth noting that guests entering their room at Sofitel Saigon Plaza were surprised to find a piece of moon cake on their table, as the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated also all over Viet Nam. Round in shape, this special cake is packed with traditional fillings and there must be a cooked egg yolk in the center to represent the moon. After that, it was nice to sleep and awaiting the next day to come.
