12 Aug 2002, Director Nguyen Thai Binh of Vung Tau Tourist and President Tom Pilitowski of Worldwide Ventures today, signed an agreement for the promotion of trade and travel to and from Vietnam. The agreement is expected to have significant economic impact in the Asian trade and travel industry. Tours throughout Vietnam are planned along with an e-commerce website created by the Vietnam division of Missionecommerce.com located in Vung Tau and managed by Tom Pilitowski.

An extensive promotional campaign to the business and travel industry in the United States is planned which will effectively market Vietnam as a "hidden gem" of international travel and trade.

Assistant Director Tran Thanh Liem commented that "this agreement with our American friend, Tom Pilitowski will help Vietnam open its door to the world. We are confident that this important agreement will increase trade and goodwill between our nations."
