Speaking at the opening ceremony, HPA Deputy Director Bui Duy Quang stated that the event is an opportunity for participating units to promote their brands, enhance product value, and contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts, culture, and tourism in the locality. Consumers attending the fair will not only have access to high-quality goods and regional specialties but also experience typical tourism services of the Huong Pagoda Festival.

The fair reflected HPA's efforts to promote the cultural and historical value and image of the Huong Son scenic area and the Huong Pagoda Festival to domestic and international tourists.

At the same time, the event aims to promote the introduction of traditional craft products and local specialties, and to advertise tourist destinations to locals and visitors. This will stimulate domestic consumption within the framework of the Huong Pagoda Festival, increase total retail sales of goods and services, and meet the shopping and experiential needs of Hanoi residents and tourists.
