A seminar introducing economic cooperation opportunities was held
in Da Nang on March 3, during which presentations about Viet Nam’s economic
development, taxes, business climate, tourism and opportunities for investing
were presented.
Speaking at the conference, Phung Tan Viet, vice chairman of the municipal
People’s Committee assured those in attendance that the local governmental
authorities are committed to providing a solid business climate conducive to the
needs of Italian companies.
Currently, a delegation of leading Italian business leaders is in Da Nang
evaluating business opportunities, particularly in the tourism and hospitality
industries and looking for prospective business partners.
Tourism plays an important role in economic relations between Viet Nam and Italy
and the seminar addressed opportunities for increased travel by Italian tourists
thanks to the many cruise ships stopping in Da Nang’s harbour year-round.
At the seminar, Italy’s Livorno cruise port and Da Nang port signed a
cooperation agreement for the current year.
Last year, the port’s total commercial trade with Italy reached nearly US$7.1
million.
