Ho Chi Minh City has actively applied technology and digital platforms to promote tourism, introduce safe destinations to tourists and create favourable conditions for tourism businesses to operate in a secure and flexible manner during the pandemic. The 17th Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival, running virtually from December 4 to 25, is an effort in this direction. Anyone can participate in the festival, which is co-organised by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism and Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Association, by logging on to the event’s official website (ngayhoidulich.visithcmc.vn) or via Shopee e-commerce platform and Traveloka online tour agent. Thanks to 2D and 3D platforms, visitors can experience the virtual exhibition booths, and receive direct support and advice through message or email. They can also make direct transactions to buy their favourite products and find super promotions in line with the time frame of the stalls. VNA Photo: Mỹ Phương
