From 7 April to 11 April, 2025, Vietnam Travelmart, in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Promotion Center, successfully hosted two Famtrip delegations from the Philippines. The participants included representatives from Cebu Pacific Airlines, prominent travel influencers (KOLs), Travel journalists and Philippines Travel agencies.
The main goal of these Famtrips was to explore key attractions and tourism services in Ho Chi Minh City, aiming to promote the destination to the Philippine market. This initiative also supports the expansion of tourist traffic via Cebu Pacific’s direct flight routes, especially the newly launched Cebu–Ho Chi Minh City route, inaugurated on 2 April, 2025.
During the trip, the delegations visited iconic landmarks such as the War Remnants Museum, Independence Palace, Ho Chi Minh City Hall, Cu Chi Tunnels, and Ben Thanh Market. They also enjoyed excursions to the surrounding areas of My Tho and Ben Tre, where a variety of immersive cultural experiences left a lasting impression on the guests.
This valuable Famtrip, together with marketing efforts by Cebu Pacific, influential content from KOLs and travel media, and the proactive engagement of Philippine Travel agencies, is expected to generate significant interest in Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam as a whole. Vietnam Travelmart looks forward to welcoming more groups from the Philippines in the near future to experience the beauty, culture, and warmth of Vietnam, contributing to the broader promotion of the country’s tourism on the international tourists.
