In August 2026, Ho Chi Minh City staged two flagship international exhibitions. The ProPack Vietnam 2026 Food & Beverage Expo (6‑8 August) gathered food‑processing and packaging firms to showcase modern production technology, eco‑friendly packaging, AI‑driven digital transformation and ESG‑focused supply‑chain solutions, underscoring Vietnam’s push for sustainable growth in the sector.

The 20th International Tourism Expo (27‑29 August) set a new record with more than 520 exhibitors from 34 Vietnamese provinces and over 260 international buyers representing 40+ markets. Organisers projected around 30,000 visitors and facilitated more than 21,000 pre‑arranged B2B meetings. The fair hosted three Mekong sub‑regional tourism ministerial conferences and forums on MICE, AI, medical tourism, destination branding and sustainable development, with participation from UNWTO, PATA, Google, Mastercard and EuroCham. Pham Huy Binh, director of the city’s tourism department, highlighted the event’s role in boosting the local economy and expanding Vietnam’s global tourism footprint.

Together, the expos illustrate a coordinated effort by Vietnamese authorities and industry groups to leverage large‑scale exhibitions for market expansion, technology adoption and foreign investment across food‑beverage and tourism sectors.
