The honour creates opportunity and challenge for development of cuisine tourism products of Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular.

More and more cuisine streets such as Tong Duy Tan and Cam Chi; restaurants serving tourists in the old quarter such as Ta Hien, Ma May, Dong Xuan and Cau Go streets have been established.
