A notice on the suspension has been sent to city and provincial departments of
culture, sports and tourism, local tourism associations, tourism promotion
centres, agencies, and businesses registering for the event.
Scheduled for August 12-15, the exhibition will now be held at an appropriate
time, VITA said.
VITM 2020, themed “Heritage - Power of Vietnam Tourism”, was initially
rescheduled from April 1-4 to May 14-17 and then August 12-15 due to the
pandemic, with a new theme of “Vietnamese Tourism Looks Towards the Future”.
Vietnam has reported four new cases of community transmission of COVID-19 since
the morning of July 25, ending the country’s 99-day streak of no local
infections.
The national tally now stands at 420, of whom 276 were imported and quarantined
upon arrival.
