The Alliance of Luxury and Sustainability
By 2025, Vietnam reinvents itself as an exceptional destination for business tourism, delicately combining authentic luxury with environmental commitment. This evolution marks the emergence of a new era of MICE where excellence meets ecological responsibility.
Excellence Redefined through Sustainability
In 2024, Vietnam confirmed its premium positioning on the international stage, with over 14.1 million business visitors welcomed in the first ten months. This outstanding performance reflects the increasing appeal of a destination that has successfully blended sophistication with environmental consciousness.
This remarkable performance is largely due to the resounding success of major events such as the
International Travel Expo Ho Chi Minh City and the MICE Expo 2024.
Ho Chi Minh City, in particular, stood out by hosting over 12,600 business visitors during the first quarter. A highlight of the year was the arrival of a delegation of 4,500 professionals from the Indian pharmaceutical sector, perfectly illustrating the country's potential for large corporate events. This positive momentum is reflected in the industry's outlook, with nearly 93% of professionals anticipating business growth.
