The Viet Nam-China International Tourism Fair 2017 kicked off on Friday in Mong Cai City of the northern province of Quang Ninh.

The fair has attracted more than 450 booths, including over 300 firms from Viet Nam, 122 from China and 16 enterprises from Thailand.

It will showcase major products such as fruit, agro-forestry-fishery products, machinery and electronic devices, as well as handicrafts and wood products.

The fair is divided into five sections, which introduce the socio-economic achievements of Mong Cai City, other localities and businesses of Viet Nam and China. Besides displaying tourism products and services of the two countries, a new activity for this year’s event is displaying speciality fruit and agricultural and seafood products of both Viet Nam and China. Many booths will also introduce commodities made under the “One village, one product” programme in Viet Nam.

Along with an investment, trade and tourism promotion conference, a forum will be held to promote the trade of fruit and agricultural products through Viet Nam’s Mong Cai City and China’s Dongxing border gates, thus connecting Vietnamese and Chinese companies. Other activities will include a street festival in Tran Phu ward and a workshop promoting a free trade area in Viet Nam - China border regions.

The Viet Nam-China International Tourism Fair, part of Viet Nam’s national trade promotion programme, is the 12th of its kind held annually on a rotational basis between Quang Ninh’s Mong Cai City and Dongxing City of China’s Guangxi Province.

This year’s event is being held at the square of the Communications-Culture Centre in Hoa Lac Ward of Mong Cai City and will go on until December 7. — VNS
