The top 30 inbound tour operators in HCM City yesterday signed an agreement with the Tourism Promotion Centre and the Việt Nam Tourism Dentistry JSC to develop dentour services in the city.

Dental tourism has been identified as one of HCM City’s five main medical tourism products, according to its Department of Tourism.

With a pool of highly-skilled practitioners, state-of-the-art facilities and affordable costs, HCM City is rapidly emerging as a dental care tourism destination.

HCM City’s Department of Tourism will focus its activities in destination development and destination marketing to raise the number of foreign visitors to the city to 6 million this year, city’s officials have said.

The annual International Travel Expo HCM City 2016 (ITE HCMC 2016), known as the largest and best established travel exhibition in Viet Nam will be held from September 8-10, to help both local and international companies collaborate and discuss inbound and outbound tourism in Việt Nam and the Mekong Region.
