Interpretation services for the tourism industry and cultural festivals

2025/01/23

To accelerate post-Covid recovery, Vietnam has actively organized numerous tourism events to stimulate growth in the industry. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key tourism interpretation events that AKT has proudly supported!

What does the tourism industry include?

Tourism is a multifaceted economic sector that encompasses various fields such as travel agencies, hospitality, and dining. These sub-sectors aim to cater to customers’ leisure and exploration needs while showcasing the beauty of Vietnam to the global stage.

Since the pandemic, the number of tourism-related events—including fairs, international conferences, and cultural festivals—has grown rapidly. These events serve as platforms for networking, exchanging ideas, and proposing recovery solutions for the industry. They also provide opportunities for domestic and international businesses, experts, and tourists to meet and collaborate.

This growth has increased the demand for specialized tourism interpretation services. Beyond facilitating conversations, professional interpreters play a critical role in negotiations, press interviews, and media events—allowing businesses to focus on their operations and promoting their services.

 

Types of tourism events and corresponding interpretation services

1. Cultural festivals

A standout event AKT participated in was the Ho Chi Minh City Ao Dai Festival. This festival highlighted Vietnam’s traditional Ao Dai, celebrating its cultural significance and elegance for both domestic and international audiences. It became a key meeting point for those passionate about preserving Vietnam’s cultural identity.

Interpreting for cultural festivals requires not only accuracy but also finesse and cultural knowledge to convey the depth and beauty of each collection. AKT successfully provided precise and elegant interpretations for this hybrid (online and offline) event, delivering the intended message seamlessly.

2. Travel fairs and exhibitions

Travel fairs and exhibitions are among AKT’s specialties. A notable example was AKT’s role as a bilingual MC and stage interpreter at Mini Thailand Week. This event showcased products from sectors such as tourism, aviation, and hospitality, playing a pivotal role in strengthening economic ties between Vietnam and Thailand.

At the event, AKT interpreter Khang Nguyen delivered flawless stage interpretations, even handling unscripted remarks from two VIP speakers with precision and ease. His exceptional performance earned high praise from the organizers.

 

3. Conferences, seminars, and tourism forums

Tourism events span a broad spectrum of topics, such as the Heritage Conservation and Economic Development Seminar, India Tourism Promotion Seminar, and Vietnam Hotel Executives Forum.

One memorable highlight was AKT’s interpretation for the culinary seminar “The Value of Vietnamese Cuisine in Tourism”. The seminar emphasized the importance of preserving Vietnamese culinary heritage as a cornerstone for branding and promoting the country’s tourism internationally. Drawing on years of experience in F&B interpretation, AKT ensured the seminar’s messages were conveyed accurately and authentically.

4. Partnership signing ceremonies

AKT frequently provides bilingual MCs and stage interpreters for signing ceremonies and tourism collaborations. A recent highlight was the signing ceremony between the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, EuroCham, and VIAGS. This partnership aimed to accelerate the recovery and growth of Vietnam’s tourism industry.

Over the years, AKT has been a trusted partner of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism for many such ceremonies. Once again, AKT was honored to contribute to this significant event.
