On that basis, many wards and communes have proactively built and implemented unique tourism tours, contributing to innovating the city's urban tourism products.

Cooperation with 168 wards, communes, special zones of Ho Chi Minh City and media partners is not only aimed at developing tourism economy, but also towards preserving heritage, building a civilized tourism environment and improving the quality of life for people.
Representatives of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism said that the attractiveness of the city comes not only from the vibrant pace of life but also from the heroic spirit and characteristic hospitality. Over more than 300 years of development, Ho Chi Minh City has become a crossroads of many cultural, culinary and creative flows, creating a unique identity that attracts tourists.
