Under the MoU, Vietnam Airlines and GuangZhou Yuanzhilv Technology agreed to collaborate in areas including aviation services, marketing initiatives, and knowledge exchange in tourism development.
The two parties will also jointly host events in China aimed at promoting Vietnam’s tourism appeal within the region. The MoU was signed as part of the “Vietnam Tourism Introduction Program,” organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to enhance tourism collaboration between Vietnam and China.
