According to Hanoi’s Tourism Department, the city received about 2.9 million tourists in the first six months of 2021, mainly domestic visitors, a year-on-year decrease of 25%.

Total tourism revenue from domestic tourists was estimated at VND8.1 trillion, down 57% as compared to the same period last year.

Due to the fourth outbreak of the COVID-19, in the first half of 2021, the capital’s tourism sector performed a number of important tasks, with a focus on the restructuring of new tourism products and attracting domestic tourists.

In addition, the municipal Department of Tourism has submitted to the municipal People’s Committee its concept design documents, the design and production of tourist sign systems, brand identity kits and tourism logos for craft villages.

The department also successfully held a conference to build products to stimulate domestic tourism with the participation of hundreds of transport businesses, travel agencies, hotels, tourist sites in the city, while working with the Hanoi Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion Centre to launch the Tourism Stimulation Festival in 2021 and introduce Hanoi’s culinary culture, and others.
