Therefore, most international reporters missed no opportunity to film, report, especially making standups outdoors. Many news studios were set up on the roofs of tall buildings with the Hanoi’s iconic scenes as background.
Hanoi’s tourism authorities also believe that after the second US-North Korea summit, the number of tourists to Hanoi is expected to rise and it will give many opportunities for Vietnamese travel companies to promote cooperation with the US and North Korean partners.
