The US Cable News Network (CNN) has broadcast two videos themed “Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City” and “Ho Chi Minh City – Vibrant City”, to promote tourism in the southern city of Vietnam, NDO reported.
The videos focused on introducing diverse perspectives, colourful events and festivals, unique cuisine and new tourism products of HCM City. They aimed to inspire audiences to “pack their bags and go”, to see and experience the vitality of a young, lively, friendly, exciting and future-oriented city.
This was part of the programme to attract tourists to HCM City, themed “Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City”. The city is making every effort to restore pre-pandemic tourism as the largest tourism hub in Vietnam.
The videos have been broadcast during the golden hour frames from December 12-29 in Asia-Pacific and North American regions.
The southern metropolis expected that the promotion through the international television channel CNN would continue to promote its image to key and potential markets around the world, contributing to attracting more foreign tourists to the city.
This is also a good sign marking the readiness of the city’s tourism industry to welcome tourists and investors to Vietnam in general and HCM City in particular.
