After more than three months of piloting free Wi-fi provision on some pedestrian streets around Hoan Kiem Lake and surrounding areas, the system has seen 2.4 million accesses from 732,000 subscribers. 

The tourism department said the figures reflect the high demand and that the service should be expanded.

Ha Noi’s tourism development orientation in the 2016-2020 period and the following years targets  developing the telecom infrastructure system and information technology so as to provide free Wi-fi at tourist spots and at 80of the hotels and restaurants.

The move aims to contribute to speeding up the promotion of the city's potential, tourist products, services, and tourist attractions.
