The Vietnam National Administration for Tourism (VNAT) plans to hold four roadshows overseas and attend 11 international travel fairs this year to promote Vietnam's tourism.
According to VNAT's tourism promotion department, the roadshows will be held in Moscow in May, Washington in mid-July during the Vietnam Culture Week, in Singapore and Malaysia in August, and in India in September on the occasion of the launch of Vietnam-India direct flights.
