The event is expected to host representatives from 14 different cities and provinces, all seeking to promote their own tourism products and services, including Ha Giang, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Hai Duong, Thai Binh, and Ninh Binh.

Several activities will be held over the weekend to help both tourists and locals experience cultural activities such as how to make an Ao Dai, traditional music lessons, artistic street performances, and visits to historic villages.
