Vietnam: Food and Hotel Vietnam 2015
Vietnam’s premier food and hospitality trade event, Food & Hotel Vietnam (FHV) took place April 21-23, 2015, in Ho Chi Minh City. With 2015 marking the 20th anniversary of normalized diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Vietnam, FAS Administrator Phil Karsting traveled to Vietnam to launch the “USA Pavilion” and engage with exhibitors, visitors, and media at the Show. FAS also carried out special activities including a gala reception, and incorporated enhancements to the FAS-sponsored Pavilion -- which highlighted 20 years of promoting U.S. agricultural exports to Vietnam. The extra fanfare attracted crowds and major media coverage, while generating record on-site sales for the 31 U.S. exhibitors.
