Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh - Permanent Vice President of UNESCO Hanoi Travel Club affirmed that the UNESCO travel Cup is not only a sporting tournament, but also a meaningful annual activity, contributing to spreading the spirit of solidarity and cooperation in the Vietnam tourism community.
"Following the great success of the first season in 2024, this year's football tournament has become an anticipated event, a place for tourism workers to meet, interact and spread positive energy together" - Mr. Tuan Anh said.
In the context of the Vietnamese tourism industry on the path to strong recovery after a difficult period, Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh said that, in addition to business development, the more important thing is to build a spirit of sharing, cooperation and companionship.
