The Traditional Village Festival – ASEAN Tourism 2019 was successfully initiated in Bac Ninh province on May 9-13, gathering provincial and governmental leaders, as well as representatives from ASEAN member countries’ embassies in Vietnam.

This event is one of the focal programmes within the scope of the ASEAN Business Women 2019 forum, with exhibitions of local handicrafts, fine art, traditional products; introducing local tourism products, accommodation and tourism models; talk shows introducing partners, local investment policies, exchanging marketing strategies, and most notably a contest finding the new face of ASEAN Business Women.

Traditional Village Festival – ASEAN Tourism 2019 features the presence of stunning ASEAN beauty queens from Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, India, and Thailand, who are also successful businesswomen at home and abroad. They are believed to be powerful ambassadors helping connect traditional villages and tourism potential among ASEAN members.
