To encourage tourists to choose Hanoi as an event destination, the local tourism industry will focus on holding large-scale events, such as the Hanoi Tourism Gift Festival 2024, Hanoi Sports Tourism Event Series 2024, a series of cultural and historical activities, or a program to stimulus domestic tourism.
In addition, attention will be given to the design of agro-rural tourism linked to new rural construction in Hanoi from 2022 to 2025. A plan will also be launched to develop a community-based tourism model combined with practical experience in craft villages, as well as tourist destinations imbued with traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities.
The department will also continue to promote new destinations and tours through media channels and increase the digital application in tourism management.
