According to the Hanoi Tourism Department, the number of foreign
visitors to the capital city surpassed 3 million, marking a year-on-year
increase of 26 percent. Meanwhile, domestic visitors rose by 6 percent to more
than 10.1 million.
Foreign visitors were from about 190 countries and territories worldwide, especially
those with high affordability such as Western and Eastern Europe, Australia,
North America and Southeast Asia, with China, the Republic of Korea, Japan,
France and the US remaining key markets.
Director of the department Tran Duc Hai said Hanoi tourism has proved itself as
a major economic sector with stable growth, making effective contributions to
the city’s shift in economic structure.
Despite positive outcomes, Hanoi is also meeting difficulties in maintaining
its status as one of the most attractive destinations nationwide, including
limited promotion activities and lack of large-scale entertainment areas and
resorts to extend tourists’ stay.
Moreover, travel agencies are mostly on small scale with limited
competitiveness and workforce sometimes failing to meet demand.
In the foreseeable future, the sector will improve the quality of destinations;
develop cultural tourist products, focusing on cultural heritages and
high-quality craft villages; and increase linkage with other cities and provinces
with tourism potential.
Tapping relations with international organisations, cities and provinces
nationwide, the sector will seek support in building trademarks, marketing,
training human resources and connecting tourist products.
It also aims to build Hanoi into a safe, friendly and civilised tourist
destination.
This year, Hanoi is striving to welcome over 25.4 million tourists, including
5.5 million foreigners.
