Vietnam’s excellent cuisine and its tangible and intangible cultural heritages, which have been recognised by UNESCO, were also introduced at the event.

Magdalena Atmadja. Marketing Director of Indonesia’s Platinum Travel Agent, said that her company has opened tours for Indonesian visitors to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and the company plans to launch new tours to other tourist sites in Vietnam, such as Ha Long Bay (Quang Ninh province) and Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park.

Meanwhile, Akhmad Dani, director of Goodway – an Indonesian company which has been operating in the hospitality sector for 17 years, said that his company brings around 300-500 tourists to Vietnam. He shared that the biggest difficulties facing Indonesian visitors in Vietnam are a lack of tour guides who are fluent in the Indonesian language, and their request for Muslim Halal food.
