The country will take part in seven more international tourism fairs this year to advertise potential tourism products and attract more foreign tourists, said the Vietnam National Tourism Administration (VNTA). 
 

The seven international fairs include the JATA tourism fair in Japan, the PATA Travel Mart in Thailand, the Top Resa in France and the Trade Show Fair in the US in September 2008, the Shanghai CITM fair in China and the AITEX fair in Cambodia in October 2008 and the WTM fair in the UK in November 2008.

In the first quarter of 2008, the country joined ATF international tourism 2008 in Thailand, the world’s largest tourism fair ITB in Berlin and the Intour Market (MITT) in Russia.

The country greeted nearly 1.3 million foreign tourists in the first three month this year, showing the effectiveness of the tourism sector’s plan to attract foreign tourists by advertising tourism potential in international fairs.
