At the invitation of the University of Education – The University of Danang, Mr. Nguyễn Sơn Thủy, Director of Visit Indochina, attended an exchange session with students and shared key insights into the future of Vietnam’s tourism industry.

Students at the University of Danang – University of Education enthusiastically joined the “Tourism Trends and Life Planning” talk show, hosted by Visit Indochina’s CEO Nguyen Son Thuy.

On the morning of October 8, the University of Education in Da Nang hosted a talk with Visit Indochina, featuring Mr. Nguyễn Sơn Thủy – Director of Visit Indochina and Doctoral Researcher at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand. During the session, he provided an overview of current tourism trends and the future direction of Vietnam’s tourism sector.

During the discussion, Mr. Thuy emphasized that under Vietnam’s national strategic vision, the tourism sector is being positioned as a green economy — a sustainable growth driver contributing significantly to the country’s GDP. Beyond its economic role, tourism also serves as a bridge to promote Vietnam’s cultural identity and national brand to the global community.

Mr. Nguyen Son Thuy delivers an inspiring talk on the future of tourism and the importance of proactive career planning for young professionals.

In recent years, Vietnam has seen a sharp rise in international tourist arrivals, particularly from Asian markets. Accompanying this boom is the establishment of major training centers for tourism, hospitality, and media across the country.

The University of Education – University of Danang was among the first institutions in Central Vietnam to offer a major in Cultural Tourism, complemented by supporting disciplines such as Marketing and Multimedia Communication.

As a leading Destination Management Company (DMC) in Vietnam with a network of international representatives, Visit Indochina has long maintained close collaboration with the university. The company regularly welcomes MICE and academic exchange delegations for educational and research cooperation programs.

The discussion session fostered valuable exchanges between Visit Indochina’s leadership, lecturers, and students, strengthening the link between academia and the tourism industry.

Acknowledging the university’s success in producing high-quality graduates, Mr. Thủy shared that Visit Indochina has welcomed many interns from the university in recent years — several of whom have gone on to become full-time employees after demonstrating strong capabilities.

Addressing students and lecturers from the Tourism Culture and Multimedia Communications departments, Mr. Thuy shared valuable updates on emerging global tourism trends and career development opportunities in the sector. He encouraged students to nurture ambition and determination from their university years, emphasizing that success comes from continuous learning, perseverance, and seizing the “golden stage” of youth to build a meaningful career.

According to Mr. Thuy, young people are the cornerstone of national progress, and each student should define their direction early and contribute to the country’s journey toward “a strong and thriving Vietnam.”
