Hanoi has been honored 6 times in a row at world tourism awards.

(Fatherland) - In 2024, Vietnamese tourism has been making many impressions on domestic and foreign tourists when many destinations, localities, sightseeing and travel services of our country were excellently named in many world- leading tourism categories.

Notably, this is the first year that Hanoi has been honored in all three categories, including: "Asia's Leading City Destination", "Asia's Leading Short-Term City Destination" and "Vietnam's Leading Cultural Destination". The fact that Hanoi has been continuously nominated and honored at prestigious tourism awards clearly demonstrates the capital's position on the international tourism map.

However, besides the achievements, frankly speaking, Hanoi tourism still has limitations. These are investment, exploitation, promotion of cultural and historical values; service quality at some cultural tourism destinations associated with historical relics and traditional craft villages is not high, there is a lack of experiential tourism products to serve tourists. In particular, there is a lack of mechanisms and policies to attract investment to build unique cultural tourism products bearing the brand of the Capital...

In order to overcome the above limitations, the Hanoi Party Committee directs and organizes the activities of the New Year 2025 and the Lunar New Year of At Ty in Hanoi; emphasizing the need for all levels, sectors and localities to urgently research and develop events, cultural programs and festivals, towards becoming annual events of the capital. At the same time, the city builds unique tourism products to both promote the image, culture and people of the capital, and stimulate tourism, services, trade and economic development.

Everyone knows the enormous resources from tourism for socio-economic development. For tourism to truly become a spearhead economic sector, along with the development of many new types of tourism to meet the needs of tourists, in the coming time, all levels, sectors and localities of the city need to have solutions to link tourism development with the preservation and promotion of heritage values ​​and cultural identity of the capital, towards green and sustainable growth. In addition, promote the exploitation of Hanoi's cultural characteristics to focus on developing tourism products with unique characteristics, competitiveness, and high economic efficiency.

Hanoi City has clearly identified key tasks and solutions in developing cultural industries in the capital. In carrying out this task, the Hanoi Creative Design Festival is a clear and effective demonstration, helping to realize the goals of developing the capital's cultural industry. The Hanoi Lotus Festival, held for the first time in July 2024 at the Tay Ho Cultural and Creative Space, has also become a cultural meeting place and opened up many prospects for developing cultural industries from the festival. Or recently, after 3 days (from November 29 to December 1, 2024), the Hanoi Food and Culture Festival in 2024 also attracted nearly 11,000 people and tourists to attend... These are typical examples of realizing the goal of turning Hanoi into a Festival City of Vietnam or a creative center of the region.

With the right orientations and high determination, Hanoi will certainly achieve its goal by 2025, which is to develop tourism into a spearhead economic sector; the city will welcome and serve 35-39 million tourists, including 8-9 million international tourists; total revenue from tourists will reach about 151 trillion VND. Hanoi will be a "Safe - Friendly - Quality - Attractive" tourist city, affirming its position as a leading tourist destination in the world.
