HCMC develops typical tourism products, raising the destination level

Tourist destination rich in identity and experience

The 5th Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Week in 2025 is taking place in 168 wards, communes and special zones across the area, opening the year-end holiday season with many new experiences for people and tourists.

A representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism emphasized that the event is an opportunity to introduce the new look of Ho Chi Minh City - a dynamic super city that has just been expanded, not only increasing in area and population but also expanding to become a strategic economic zone, integrating finance, tourism services, high technology and deep-water seaports.

The Tourism Week also contributes to promoting the comprehensive image of Ho Chi Minh City, from the bustling economic - cultural - historical center to industrial parks, high-tech agricultural areas, beaches and high-class resort systems, bringing diverse experiences to domestic and international tourists.

Within the framework of the event, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism coordinated with the People's Committees of wards, communes and special zones to announce a series of tours, service packages and promotional programs from businesses, along with many incentives and gifts for tourists during the peak season at the end of 2025.

Travel businesses are launching new products, implementing discount policies and linking with localities to form tourism programs that promise to bring a vibrant journey to the year-end and early 2026 holiday season.

Accelerating cooperation to develop sustainable tourism

At the meeting of local leaders of 168 wards and communes of Ho Chi Minh City and the media organized by Saigontourist Group, the enterprise affirmed that this is an important milestone, opening the tourism development strategy for the period 2025 - 2030.

The cooperation model between businesses - authorities - local communities is considered an effective direction to promote sustainable, green and creative tourism, ensuring the harmony of economic benefits, environmental conservation and improving social welfare.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa - Chairwoman of the Board of Members of Saigontourist Group emphasized that for Vietnam tourism to reach the world level, the deep connection and strong companionship between the parties are key factors.

"Cooperating with 168 wards and communes of Ho Chi Minh City and strategic communication partners is an act to concretize our commitment, not only to develop the tourism economy, but also to preserve heritage, build a civilized tourism environment, and improve the quality of life for people.

By connecting, innovating and focusing on green tourism, businesses will work with the Ho Chi Minh City government to make Ho Chi Minh City a leading destination in Asia - a city that is not only modern but also rich in identity, friendliness and sustainability" - Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa affirmed.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dung - Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee highly appreciated the advantages of Saigontourist Group - a business that owns a tourism ecosystem stretching from North to South and has rich experience in product organization.

Ho Chi Minh City has implemented a model of each locality having at least one tourism product with 22 localities having formed typical products. This is an important foundation to continue developing the idea for 168 wards, communes and special zones, turning each area into a destination or owning a unique tourism product.
