Alone we go faster; together we go further.
LÊ Y LINH President of VNCT "Alone, we go faster; together, we go further." The Association for the Culture and Tourism of Vietnam in Europe (Vietnam Culture & Tourism in Europe -VNCT), in collaboration with the Vietnam Cultural Centre in France - Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (CCV), aims to build a common home bringing together Vietnamese businesses and organisations, in order to promote Vietnamese tourism professionally and widely. The activities of VNCT and the CCV, as an extension of the activities of the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism, aim to increase the presence of Vietnam’s image in many European markets, at various times and places. These efforts help to build lasting influence and ensure a stronger presence for Vietnamese tourism in the face of competition from other destinations on the European market.
