Vietnam Seafood Festival 2014 – a great chance for businesses
The Vietnam Seafood Festival this year will create plenty of opportunity for participants with 12 large-scale events being held in economics, investment, trade and tourism promotion.
The information was revealed at a press briefing in Ho Chi Minh City on February 16 by the People’s Committee of the central coastal province of Phu Yen, who will host the event from March 28 to April 2.
Under the theme “Vietnamese Seafood – Integration and Development”, the festival aims to honour the craft of seafood farming and fishing, especially tuna fishing, contributing to protecting national sovereignty.
The event also offers chances for seafood business to enhance their connectivity, while introducing and promoting the tangible and intangible cultural values of Vietnam’s coastal localities.
A highlight of the festival will be a ceremony marking the 55th anniversary of the Vietnamese seafood sector. A seafood, industry and trade fair and exhibition for the central southern coastal region is also being hotly anticipated.
A seminar will be held to discuss ways to boost the sustainable development of the sector, coupled with a conference to review three years of the implementation of Vietnam’s aquatic development strategy until 2020.
