HCM CITY — HCM City's District 1 will organise a F&B Networking Fair 2023 later in August to highlight special Vietnamese culinary characteristics and promote businesses in the field.

It is the largest event in the field held by the People's Committee, Labour Confederation, and Business Association in the district and the HCM City F&B Association.

It takes place from August 25 to 27, with exhibitions, products and service promotions.

Conferences during the event will enable enterprises, experts, authorities, and Michelin-starred restaurants to exchange experiences in the field, covering topics such as connecting the industry ecosystem, applying technology in small and medium enterprises, and sharing important background knowledge for start-ups.

Contest Overview, a professional bartending competition, is part of the event, with over 500 bartenders from restaurants and hotels in the city.

Nguyễn Duy An, deputy chairman of District 1 People's Committee, said that since F&B is one of the district's leading economic sectors, having 29 out of 103 restaurants recognised by the Michelin Guide, the event will help facilitate trade and improve local tourism and service.

"District 1 has many advantages in the field to become an ideal market for investors and attract local and foreign visitors," An said.

The event will also set a precedent by proposing a nighttime economic development plan to the HCM City People's Committee to solicit investment, he said.

HCM City has been organising numerous well-received culinary events and festivals to promote local businesses and restaurants, such as the Food and Culture Festival on April. — VNS
