Int’l and domestic YouTubers join hands to promote Vietnam’s tourism.

International and domestic Youtube video bloggers have been invited by Google to a trip to promote Vietnam's culture, tourism and cuisine, Nguoi Lao Dong (Laborer) newspaper reported.

Accordingly, Google Vietnam has launched a program titled “Google Adventure Vietnam", which takes place from June 24 to 28. The program aims to promote the tourism and image of Vietnam to the world via video of international and domestic Youtube creators.

 The YouTube creators all have more than one million to over three million subscribers on their respective channels on Google-owned YouTube. During three days, they will have a chance to enjoy and shoot the beautiful scenery and mouth-watering local cuisine Quang Binh, Quang Nam and Da Nang and are supposed to share their journeys and experiences with their huge fan bases on YouTube.
