The US Cable News Network (CNN) has broadcast two videos themed “Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City” and “Ho Chi Minh City – Vibrant City”, to promote tourism in the southern city of Vietnam, NDO reported.

The videos focused on introducing diverse perspectives, colourful events and festivals, unique cuisine and new tourism products of HCM City. They aimed to inspire audiences to “pack their bags and go”, to see and experience the vitality of a young, lively, friendly, exciting and future-oriented city.

This was part of the programme to attract tourists to HCM City, themed “Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City”. The city is making every effort to restore pre-pandemic tourism as the largest tourism hub in Vietnam.

The videos have been broadcast during the golden hour frames from December 12-29 in Asia-Pacific and North American regions.

The southern metropolis expected that the promotion through the international television channel CNN would continue to promote its image to key and potential markets around the world, contributing to attracting more foreign tourists to the city.

This is also a good sign marking the readiness of the city’s tourism industry to welcome tourists and investors to Vietnam in general and HCM City in particular.

HCM City was recently named among the top 15 most searched destinations by global travelers for the holiday season from December to January as revealed by Booking.com.
HCM City was recently named among the top 15 most searched destinations by global travelers for the holiday season from December to January as revealed by Booking.com.

According to the online travel platform Booking.com, HCM City witnessed spectacular growth (+2,985 places) in room booking data from December 23, 2022, to January 1, 2023. As a result, the city ranked 12th among the top 15 most searched destinations by global tourists.

Meanwhile, the city ranked second in a list of 10 most searched travel destinations by Americans this year after London, VGP cited Google Flights data.

“Viet Nam reopened to tourism in early 2022, while other traditionally popular countries like Japan and China remained shut,” CNN reported, citing a source from Google.

“That could explain why Ho Chi Minh City placed high on Google Flights trending list.” Vietnam reopened its borders to tourism on March 15.

The United States sent the second highest number of visitors to Viet Nam after the Republic of Korea since the country reopened to foreign tourists with over 266,000 guests over the last 11 months of this year, announced the General Statistics Office.

The city welcomed 3 million foreign tourist arrivals and nearly 28 million domestic visitors in the first 11 months of this year. Tourism revenue totaled more than VND 117 trillion (USD 4.88 billion).

Djokovic dominates Sinner to claim record-breaking seventh ATP Finals championship

The 36-year-old Serb was defeated by the local favorite Sinner earlier this week in the group stage, but he got his revenge with an outstanding performance, winning 6-3 6-3. A packed crowd at Turin’s Pala Alpitour had hoped to see the 22-year-old Sinner claim the biggest title of his career, but Djokovic was simply on another level. The world number one only dropped two points on his serve in a flawless first set, and once he broke Sinner’s serve in the fourth game, it was mostly one-way traffic. At one point, Djokovic won 14 consecutive points against the world number four before Sinner briefly halted the 24-time Grand Slam champion’s momentum. Sinner managed to avoid going down a double break as Djokovic surprisingly missed a routine passing shot. Sinner then had chances to break back in the sixth game, but he couldn’t convert either of them. Djokovic also failed to convert break points that would have given him a 5-2 lead, as a few errors crept into his game. The crowd did the...
