The 11th annual meeting of the Council for Promoting Tourism in Asia (CPTA) will be held in Hanoi from October 9-13, expecting to attract delegates from Tokyo, New Delhi, Seoul, Taipei, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ulaanbaatar, and Tomsk.

The meeting will evaluate the work implemented during the past years and design plans to carry out new projects.

Participants will define responsibilities of state tourism management agencies and municipal governments, as well as tourism agencies and businesses in developing tourism sectors in CPTA member cities.

They will seek measures to lure more visitors to Asia through cooperative projects, programmes and campaigns.

They will also focus discussions on strengthening cooperation between member cities, and between tourism promotion agencies and businesses.

The host city of Hanoi plans to introduce its tourist potential, tradition, culture, history, beauty spots and tourist products and services.
