It is the largest event within the ASEAN tourism cooperation framework.
The forum will feature a series of major events, such as the 25th ASEAN Tourism Ministers Meeting, the Tourism Ministers Meetings between ASEAN and partner countries (China, the Republic of Korea, Japan, India and Russia), the International Travel Expo TRAVEX, and the ASEAN Tourism Award Ceremony.
In this year’s ASEAN Tourism Award, Viet Nam has won four out of the five categories, namely ASEAN Green Hotel Awards, ASEAN MICE Venue Awards, ASEAN Clean Tourist City Awards, and ASEAN Sustainable Tourism Awards.
Viet Nam’s pavilion at TRAVEX 2022 will be themed “Live Fully in Viet Nam”, with the participation of popular tourist destinations, tour operators and luxurious hotels and resorts from the country.
The ATF was first organised in Kuala Lumpur in 1981. The event was hosted by Viet Nam twice, in Ha Noi in 2009 and in Quang Ninh in 2019.
According to the Viet Nam National Administration of Tourism, ASEAN is one of Viet Nam’s major source of tourists. In 2019, tourist arrivals from ASEAN totaled nearly 2.1 million, mostly from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Cambodia. The figure accounted for about 11.6 percent of Viet Nam’s foreign visitors.
