The award is a recognition for the continued efforts of the city’s tourism sector and demonstrates global confidence in the city’s tourism potential, said Bùi Thị Ngọc Hiếu, deputy director of HCM City Department of Tourism, who received the award at the ceremony.
The city is striving to become a leading tourism destination in Asia and promote its image as an open, youthful and livable city by 2030, she said.
