Recognizing the benefits that this activity brings to the tourism industry in attracting visitors right at the beginning of the year, Chairman of the Hanoi Tourism Association Nguyen Manh Than stated that Hanoi is a leading market for sending visitors across the country and abroad. However, many Hanoians have not spent time learning about the capital where they live. “Through this activity, the people of the capital have more opportunities to experience on-site tourism. Thereby, affirming that Hanoi tourism is safe, friendly, high-quality and attractive,” Mr. Than emphasized.

Hotel system upgrade

Although hotels in Hanoi are simultaneously organizing promotional activities to attract guests in the first months of the new year 2025, tourism experts say that this activity is only temporary, and to attract guests in the long term, it is necessary to improve service quality.

According to the Hanoi Department of Tourism, there are currently 3,761 accommodation establishments in the capital with 71,256 rooms, including 91 hotels and apartment buildings rated from 1 to 5 stars with a total of 12,147 rooms, but there are still shortcomings in serving tours.

Reflecting on the shortcomings of Hanoi's hotel system in serving guests, Head of the Faculty of Tourism (Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities), Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Hong Long said that in general, the capital's tourist accommodation facilities are lacking 4-5 star hotels, unable to meet the growth rate and diverse needs of luxury tourists.

To overcome these shortcomings, Chairman of the Vietnam Hotel Association Do Hong Xoan said that accommodation establishments need to improve the quality of their services. Specifically, in addition to attracting high-quality human resources, it is necessary to organize training and improve the qualifications and skills of staff. In addition, to make tourists stay longer, accommodation establishments need to build a tourist map of the nearest attractions so that guests can have more experiences.

"Proposing" some solutions to develop the 5-star hotel system in Hanoi, Dr. Nguyen Minh Tuan (Faculty of Natural Resources and Environmental Economics , Hanoi University of Natural Resources and Environment) stated: Hanoi needs to promote the construction and development of infrastructure, thereby creating conditions for businesses to invest in developing a high-class hotel system.

From the perspective of the management agency, Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Tourism Nguyen Hong Minh said that in order to develop and improve the quality of luxury hotels in the area, in the coming time, units need to promote upgrading facilities in the direction of applying green design, using renewable energy, thereby increasing environmental friendliness; Investing in entertainment and relaxation areas such as spa, gym, infinity pool, sky bar... to help customers fully enjoy their vacation.

In particular, hotels should accelerate access and apply modern technology in check-in and check-out to help guests complete procedures quickly, and should apply incentives and gifts for VIP guests, thereby increasing the rate of returning guests. "To make Hanoi tourism a key economic sector in the coming time, Hanoi will focus on investing in facilities and technical infrastructure, thereby stimulating businesses to invest and upgrade the hotel system," Mr. Nguyen Hong Minh informed.
