Mr. Tetsuya Okuda expects that the VNAT will support and back the workshop to be successfully organized, becoming a premise to establish a long-term cooperative relationship between the two sides.
Regarding the plan to organize the workshop, Deputy Director of the Institute for Tourism Development Research Do Thi Thanh Hoa said that the topic chosen for the workshop will discuss "Tourism overload in major tourist centers and satellite tourism development". The workshop is scheduled to be held in September in Hanoi in both in-person and online formats, with the participation of 150 guests who are leaders and experts in the tourism industry of the two countries.
The content of the workshop will revolve around the current situation of tourism overload in some major tourist centers and propose initiatives and policy solutions to develop, ensure control of overload, and develop tourist destinations.
