HCM City will work together with Phnom Penh, Vientiane, Yangon to
promote tourism in Japan and the Republic of Korea.
According to the HCM City Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the
coordination will be discussed at a meeting of the four cities in the
Mekong sub-region, scheduled for HCM City on March 20-22.

cooperation at the International Travel Expo in HCM City.
City officials will discuss the programme as well as other projects
about student exchange and linkages of enterprises, banks and other
suppliers to create opportunities for tourism development.
