The Ambassador of the festival
In an exhilarating reveal that’s set the city abuzz, Thùy Tiên, a luminous figure in the world of beauty and advocacy, has been announced as the ambassador for the 20th Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival. Born on August 12, 1998, Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien is not just a beauty queen; she’s a beacon of culture, grace, and humanitarian spirit. With a journey marked by titles such as First Runner-Up at Miss Southern Vietnam 2017 and making it to the Top 5 in Miss Vietnam 2018, her accolades speak volumes of her dedication and influence.
Thuy Tien isn’t just wearing a crown; she’s shouldering the hopes and dreams of a city eager to showcase its splendor to the world. “Being born in the city named after Uncle Ho, I hold immense pride in representing Ho Chi Minh City as its tourism ambassador. This festival is a pivotal event aimed at propelling the city’s tourism forward this year,” she shares with palpable excitement.
Will HCMC Tourism Festival 2024 be more successful than last year?
As Ho Chi Minh City gears up for the 20th edition of its esteemed Tourism Festival in 2024, it’s worth taking a moment to look back at the remarkable achievements of last year’s event. The 19th Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival, under the adept leadership of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa, Director of the HCMC Department of Tourism, showcased an array of tourism products that transcended local boundaries, fostering connections across various industries, regions, and provinces.
For the first time, the festival introduced over 50 inner-city tour programs, alongside more than 100 collaborative tourism initiatives linking Ho Chi Minh City with other localities. This innovative approach not only enhanced the festival’s diversity but also emphasized the interconnectedness of Vietnam’s tourism industry. The result? A resounding success, with the 2023 festival generating a revenue of 105 billion VND and attracting 190,000 visitors. These figures are a testament to the event’s growing appeal and its pivotal role in promoting tourism in Ho Chi Minh City and beyond.
The success of the 2023 festival raises an intriguing question: Can the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival 2024 surpass its predecessor in terms of innovation, visitor engagement, and overall impact?
With the city’s relentless drive towards showcasing its vibrant culture, scenic beauty, and the warmth of its people, the upcoming Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival is poised to be a beacon for travelers from across the globe. Will it set new records and further elevate the city’s position on the world tourism map? Only time will tell, but the anticipation is undoubtedly high, promising an event that’s not to be missed.
