MCST proposes to host ASEAN Tourism Forum
VOV.VN -The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) has submitted a request to the Prime Minister to host the 2019 ASEAN Tourism Forum in either Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City or Danang.
The annual Forum is a cooperative regional event devoted to promoting the ASEAN region as a single tourism destination.
It gathers tourism officials and industry representatives from the ten ASEAN member countries and three ASEAN partner countries – Japan, the Republic of Korea and People’s Republic of China.

Our region is characterized by coopetition, said the MCST, – a cooperative, collaborative decision by all players to compete with each other so that the world will choose the region before choosing the country.
Our countries become, in very real terms, each other’s value extension—we become each other’s developing markets. And to make this development last for our children, we have to make certain that we are mindful of the social and environmental context that our region’s growth exists in.
The MCST, therefore, said it would be honoured and proud to have Vietnam host the 2019 ASEAN Tourism Forum.
