According to Dang Huong Giang, Director of the Hanoi Tourism Department, the city's tourism industry will accelerate key tourism projects to attract more international visitors in the coming period.

The city will also build some new tours connecting central Hanoi with nearby tourism hubs and trade villages in Thanh Tri, Thuong Tin, Phu Xuyen, Thanh Oai, Ung Hoa and My Duc districts.

In addition, a community tourism model combined with practical experience in handicraft villages and ethnic minority areas in Ba Vi District would also be launched.

The Hanoi Department of Tourism is now striving to diversify its tourism offerings, including a golf tourism program held in early December to connect Hanoi and northern localities.
