It comes as Vietnam is implementing the Politburo’s Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in the development of science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, he said.

“Technology and artificial intelligence can help businesses improve their management and service quality, but the human element is still the deciding factor in creating core values in the hospitality sector.”
