About our Culture, Sports, Tourism Sector Committee
The Culture, Sports, and Tourism (CST) Sector Committee represents the collective voice of the culture, sports, and in-bound tourism industry in Vietnam. Our members include organizations and experts from across the sector, including cultural institutions, sports organizations, hotels, Destination Management Companies (DMCs), airlines, and industry specialists.
A key activity of the CST Sector Committee focuses on policy advocacy and collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, as well as other relevant government bodies. We meet regularly to identify regulatory bottlenecks, shape recommendations on issues like destination marketing, visas and infrastructure, and partners with public agencies on practical initiatives and events that support sustainable, high-quality tourism and cultural exchange.
Through this work, the committee amplifies the European business community’s voice and helps deepen EU–Vietnam cooperation in culture, sports, and tourism.
