As planned, they will stay for 4 days and 3 nights to attend conferences, enjoy food, tour the city by bus or Vespa scooter, watch the Saigon River on the ROS yacht club.

Mr. Geoffrey Christian Lee, Director of ABSA Company, which owns a system of large banks and insurance companies in Africa, said his first reason to come to Vietnam is the people who are family-oriented.

Ho Chi Minh City is home to a lively nightlife, beautiful Saigon River and unique cultural and traditional values unlike anywhere else in Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh City welcomed a group of 460 MICE tourists from the US in April and 460 MICE tourists from India last month.
