Nguyen Thi Mai Anh, Deputy Director of Hanoi Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion, said: “We choose the story that connects heritage to tell the story of culture. Tangible heritage is destination. This year we choose 10 typical destinations, such as the Imperial Citadel, a world heritage site. And the story of Imperial Citadel is the highlight. In this year's tourism festival, we include stories of the Hanoi’s Imperial Citadel and the heritage of other localities.”
