More than 150 businesses from 13 countries and territories are expected to participate in the Food & Hotel Hanoi 2018 expo from November 28-30 at the International Centre of Exhibition.

This is the first time Viet Nam’s leading food and hospitality trade event has been held in the capital city after 8 exhibitions in HCM City.

Speaking at the press conference held in Ha Noi on Friday, BT Tee, the organiser and general manager of UBM VES said the three-day event will have 15 international group pavilions from the US, Spain, Singapore, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, China and Thailand.

The event will showcase food, beverage and related products. In addition, the exhibition will also display a range of equipment for the food, beverage, restaurant and hotel industries.

There will also be specialised forums, as well as cooking contests.

Le Mai Khanh, permanent vice chairman and general secretary of the Viet Nam Hotel Association, said the event is expected to offer an opportunity for businesses in the food and hotel sector to find co-operation opportunities as well as sharing experience to improve their service quality and promoting the industry’s development in the northern market.

The Food & Hotel expo has been organised in many cities around the world and came to HCM City in 2005. — VNS
