On September 6, the organizing committee of the 18th Ho Chi Minh City International Tourism Expo 2024 (ITE HCMC 2024) presented awards for the best booth design to both domestic and international entities that made significant contributions to the Expo.

Under the theme of “Sustainable Tourism – Creating Future”, ITE HCMC 2024 once again solidified its status as a leading prestigious expo in the region. ITE HCMC, with its diverse range of events and engaging activities, has not only provided a platform for professional sessions and experiential opportunities but also fostered networking and promising trade and collaboration opportunities for businesses and partners in the Vietnamese and international tourism sectors.

Over the course of three days (from September 5 to 7), ITE HCMC 2024 saw a significant turnout, with nearly 480 exhibitors participating. Domestic booths made up the majority at 77%, while foreign booths accounted for the remaining 23%. The presence of many international exhibitors, with their large, well-invested booths, is a testament to the global interest and high regard for the Vietnamese tourism market.

To honor the businesses and organizations, including travel agencies, hotels, and tourism units that have significantly contributed to the overall success of the fair, the organizing committee awarded prizes to 12 entities for their outstanding booth designs.

The Best Booth Design Award will recognize organizations and businesses in five categories: Category A for booths measuring 9m² to 27m²; Category B for booths ranging from 36m² to 54m²; Category C for booths from 72m² to 90m²; Category D for booths over 90m²; and Category E for the most attractive booth.
