In the context of the strong recovery of the maritime, logistics, and international tourism sectors, Vietnam is emerging as an attractive destination, leveraging its long coastline, strategic seaport infrastructure, and the dynamic development of its tourism and service industries. This is a critical time for port businesses to enhance their presence, connectivity, and brand promotion in the international market.
Singapore is recognized as the world’s leading maritime and logistics hub, and also one of the most vibrant cruise tourism markets in Southeast Asia.
