Hanoi invests in 20 tourism projects in 2016-17
The People’s Committee of Hanoi reported the capital city has invested in 20 projects in the tourism sector in the past two years.
Among these projects is a VND4.92 trillion (US$216.2 million) hotel, trade centre and apartment complex, developed by Tay Ho View Co in Tay Ho District; a $70 million multi-function complex, invested by Post and Telecommunication Equipment Co; and a $20 million hotel project, financed by Ho Tay Co.
Over the past two years, the capital city has focused on attracting foreign and domestic investment into its tourism industry. Among the city’s prioritized projects for investment attraction from now to 2020, four are part of the hospitality sector with total investment capital of VND11.56 trillion ($508 million). They are the National Exhibition Fair Center project in the capital’s Dong Anh district, Kim Quy cultural, tourism and amusement park in Vinh Ngoc commune in Hanoi’s suburban district of Dong Anh, Aeon Mall Ha Dong, CV1 Park in Cau Giay and Nam Tu Liem districts, and Hello Kitty Park in Tay Ho District.
In the future, the city will continue to study and perfect its investment policies to encourage more foreign and domestic investors to invest in the area, the committee said, adding that top priority will be given to the development of resorts, high-grade entertainment and trade centers, besides large-scale hotels. The city targets to have 20 more high-end hotels by 2020, raising to the total to 80 above-3-star hotels.
It will also supervise the implementation progress of ongoing projects in the city and will consider withdrawing investment licenses of slow-moving projects. Calls for other qualified investors will be made later, it said.
The capital city aims to receive more than 23.8 million visitors with earnings of some VND71 trillion ($3.1 billion) by the year-end, an increase of 15 per cent from the same period last year, according to the municipal Department of Tourism.
The number includes nearly five million foreign tourists from key markets such as China, South Korea, Japan and France, as well as the US, Germany, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand and Canada.
The city also hopes to pocket some VND72.5 trillion from nearly 25.5 million visitors in 2018 and achieve growth of eight per cent this year, including 4.58 million foreigners and 20.91 million domestic travelers.
Nguyen Anh Dung, Deputy Director of the capital’s Department of Tourism, said that Hanoi will actively deploy a series of solutions to maintain position as one of the world’s leading attractive destinations. We will cooperate with Hanoi-based embassies and international organizations to connect and promote tourism development at the international market.
