The Vietnam Top Property Opportunities (VnTPO-2009) conference promises to be a venue for local and foreign investors to explore these projects and build business links.

Phan Huu Thang, head of the Foreign Investment Agency of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, said at a news briefing in HCMC on Tuesday that VnTPO-2009 was expected to attract about 700 local and foreign investors, and 90 government officials including from over 30 provinces.

The recent real estate exhibitions were generally designed to promote the local property market but the upcoming VnTPO-2009 will focus on local and international investors with property projects, particularly those relating to tourism property, Thang said.

The newly established Vietnam Tourism Property Association (VnTPA) as an organizer said the second such property conference would provide participating investors with the opportunity to grasp potential property projects, seek partners and call for investment in their projects.

The event, themed “Time of Big Opportunities”, will see key speakers sharing experiences in doing business in the local property market, and local government leaders sharing information about property development policies.

Thang noted the event would also send to the international investors a clear message about what local developers were looking for.

VnTPO-2008 attracted some 500 participants from England, the United States, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, India, Kuwait and Hungary, and saw some 355 projects introduced.
