The tour is expected to offer a chance for
Vietnamese and European travel agents to meet, introduce tourism products, and
intensify tourism promotion, thus helping popularise the image of Vietnam in
general and the capital city in particular.
The delegation is scheduled to make a fact-finding tour to tourist attractions
in Hanoi and
surrounding areas before participating in a meeting between Vietnamese and
European travel agents. The European firms will discuss tourism products and
destinations of Hanoi
and Vietnam Airlines on October 10.
Hanoi expects
to welcome nearly 20 million tourist arrivals in the first nine months of this
year, or a year-on-year rise of 9.2 percent. Of the total, foreign visitors are
estimated at 4.3 million, up 20 percent year-on-year, and accounting for nearly
40 percent of the total number of foreign tourists to Vietnam.
This year, Hanoi
aims to welcome more than 25.4 million tourists, including 5.5 million
foreigners.
The city has also received high rankings and wide coverage by overseas travel
firms and magazines. The online marketplace and hospitality service Airbnb
named the Vietnamese capital city among the world’s top 10 intriguing travel
destinations in 2018. Hanoi
was also listed among the world’s top 13 destinations for international
travellers in March based on a poll by readers of the US-based Business Insider
magazine.
Hanoi’s Old
Quarter is a good place for visitors to spend time roaming around, experiencing
open-air eateries and hearing the noise of whizzing motorbikes, Business
Insider said. Hoan
Kiem Lake
in the city’s centre provides a peaceful respite from the frenzy, as do
numerous Buddhist temples and pagodas, it added.
