Festival full of tourists
By the end of November 2023, Hanoi had welcomed 4.1 million international visitors, an increase of more than 3 times compared to the same period last year. Combined with domestic tourists, this number exceeded 22.6 million. Contributing to this breakthrough growth, it is impossible not to mention the role of new destinations and products and services appearing for the first time.
A typical example is the "Ocean City destination city" in the East of the Capital, with its specialties being festivals and grand cultural and artistic programs. Along with that is a distinct ecosystem of utilities such as the VinWonders Hanoi Wave Park and Water Park marine parks and large-scale entertainment - shopping - experience complexes in Vietnam such as Mega Grand World...
In 2023, Ocean City was the venue for a series of special events, such as the opening festival series of the City of Light Square during the April 30 - May 1 holiday; the Italian food festival, the Korean K-Fest festival gathering famous local street foods... attracting tens of thousands of tourists from Hanoi and neighboring provinces...
"K-Day in K-Town" on November 25 is considered one of the most anticipated Korean cultural events at the end of 2023, kicking off a series of 79 year-end festivals in Ocean City lasting through the Lunar New Year. The highlight is the series of events opening the entertainment and shopping destination Mega Grand World in December and the commercial service complex Center Point (Vinhomes Ocean Park 2).
Here, Ocean City brings the quintessence of architecture and Asian and European culture to residents and tourists through Korean and Japanese cultural festivals, Italian-style Christmas celebrations or the Vietnamese Cuisine Celebration Festival. Next is the program "Welcome Tet as you wish - Giap Thin 2024" taking place from January 14 to February 14, 2024 with colors imbued with the quintessence of Vietnamese culture, promising to bring many emotions to visitors during the traditional Tet season of the nation.
In particular, The Grand Voyage show with a stage on a giant boat in the middle of the Venice River at Mega Grand World is an art performance that takes place every night, attracting international and domestic tourists when they set foot in the tourist city in the East of Hanoi.
With a systematic and large-scale investment and a strategy to focus on developing long-term destinations, along with tourism promotion policies such as increasing the number of vehicles and free VinBus transportation from the center and neighboring provinces to Mega Grand World, the last 3 months of the year are forecasted to be a breakthrough season for tourism in the East of Hanoi.
The special appeal of the multi-experience entertainment and shopping paradise Ocean City
In addition to the region's top high-end festivals, the factor that contributes to attracting tourists to Ocean City is the series of "commercial coordinates" operating 24/7. Typically, at Vinhomes Ocean Park 1 - the first component of Ocean City, over the past 5 years, a series of famous domestic and foreign brands have gathered here, with high-quality standards.
On weekends, residents of all ages come to the "central district" and are excited about the food tour with hundreds of culinary brands that are not inferior to the old quarter.

Meanwhile, in these last days of the year, social networks are flooded with short tiktok videos or check-in photos next to colorful roofs, Gondola rowing on the Venice river, medieval-style boat stages on the river or ancient hanok roofs of Korea...
This is an image captured by young people when they came to the Mega Grand World entertainment and shopping complex in the "capital district" before the complex opened, expected at the end of December. This shows the inherent attraction of a destination that is invested in a methodical and unique way, the most in the Eastern part of the capital.
With the participation of nearly 300 famous brands in various fields of cuisine - services - shopping in the opening phase, such as Tu Do Beer, Highlands Coffee, Katinat, Trung Nguyen Coffee, ... this place promises to become a "multi-experience universe" bustling 24/7 and 365 days/year in the North.
Following that, it is expected that in January 2024, The Center Point commercial street (Vinhomes Ocean Park 2) will continue to open. This place will gather about 200 famous brands such as Trung Nguyen E-Coffee, Yori BBQ Buffet restaurant, Vua Cha Ca restaurant, Pho Ly Quoc Su, Winmart+ supermarket, Mixue milk tea... creating a bustling shopping atmosphere.
With the attraction of high-class festivals throughout the region, Ocean City promises to continue to be the "desirable and dream destination" of not only tens of thousands of elite residents in the metropolis but also millions of domestic and international tourists when they set foot in the Capital.
