Vietnam Cuisine Culture Association makes debut

• French cuisine introduced to Vietnamese
• Vietnamese cuisine promoted in India
• Vietnam cuisine highlighted in Switzerland

The association aims to discover, preserve and develop Vietnamese gastronomy to be a national brand and asset by 2020, and to build cuisine museums and hubs in Vietnam.

Besides, the association has planned to organize a number of activities and events to enhance the values of the Vietnamese cuisine culture such as: opening cooking schools, holding promotion programs both  at home and abroad.

Promoting the Vietnamese cuisine culture to be a national brand will make a great contribution to the country's economy, especially the tourism industry, as the catering sector and supporting services account for 70% of the tourism industry's revenue.

The Vietnam Cuisine Culture Association currently has over 300 members, including researchers, artisans, businessmen and companies operating in the cuisine and tourism industries.
