The International Travel Expo Ho Chi Minh City (ITE HCMC) returns for its 20th edition from August 27 to 29, 2026. It's primarily a trade event for travel industry professionals rather than the general public, but it's a useful marker of the city's growing weight as a regional tourism hub — alongside strong 2025/2026 visitor numbers reported by local tourism authorities.
Not a public festival, but worth knowing about if your trip happens to overlap with it, since central hotels can see a short-term uptick in business travel demand during the expo dates. See our hotel guides for booking timing tips around busier periods.
