Canada has organised a tourism promotion event in Ottawa to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and Vietnam. More than 150 representatives, including those from embassies, international travel agencies and travel service operators, attended the event, which aims to demonstrate the importance and value of tourism products after the COVID-19 pandemic. Visitors at the event were provided with information about over 60 international destinations as well as Canadian tourist attractions. Vietnam and Canada share strong economic relations with two-way trade currently at 11 billion CAD, and maintain exchanges through organisations such as the Canada-Vietnam Friendship Association and the Vietnam-Canada Business Association.
