In addition, this year ITE HCMC also applied AI technology to screen appointment booking objects to support users to approach partners according to their needs, improving the efficiency of business appointments. Buyers and sellers only need to scan QR code to easily receive full information of partners without using physical business cards.
According to Mr. Le Truong Hien Hoa, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism: “We not only consider Ho Chi Minh City or Vietnam as a tourist destination, but also aim to develop this place into a major tourist connection point in the Asian region. This will be the place where visitors can start their journey of experience in a seamless way thanks to the close tourism connection between regions in the country and other destinations in the region. That is why we are making great efforts to elevate ITE HCMC 2024 to a regional level to be able to gather the participation and connection of all influential domestic and international partners towards building this goal.”
ITE HCMC 2024 will take place over 3 days, from September 5 to September 7 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (799 Nguyen Van Linh, District 7, HCMC).
