In September and the final months of the year, Hanoi will continue to launch new products such as "Hanoi Tourism - The Quintessence of Vietnam 2025," organize the Autumn Festival, the Ao Dai Festival, and the Hanoi Beverage Festival 2025… At the same time, the city will participate in the ITB India Fair and the Vietnam tourism promotion program in India; the IFTM Topresa International Tourism Fair and tourism development cooperation in France in 2025.

The sector is promoting the development of community-based tourism linked to agriculture and rural areas between Hanoi and provinces in the Central and Central Highlands regions; completing the project to innovate the organizational model, management methods, preservation, and promotion of the value of the Huong Son historical site. In particular, the sector is coordinating and participating in activities and events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution and National Day on September 2nd.

The positive results of the past eight months are proof of the capital's attractiveness, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development and building Hanoi into one of the leading destinations in the region.
