Total revenue from tourists is expected to reach about VND103.74 or over $4,2 million, an 11.1 percent increase from the 2023 level, while the average room occupancy rate of accommodation establishments rises to 62 percent.
In 2024, Ha Noi still aims at sustainable and efficient development, being the gateway that welcomes and distributes tourists in the North as well as the whole country, and a 'Safe - Friendly - Quality - Attractive' destination.
Ha Noi's new tourism product development also effectively helped attract tourists and improve the destinations' competitiveness.
While continuing to work with localities to build inter-regional tourist routes, Ha Noi also developed products linking the inner city and suburban districts, notably the routes of Hanoi Center - Thanh Oai - Thanh Tri - Thuong Tin - Phu Xuyen, and Hanoi Center - Thanh Oai - Ung Hoa - My Duc.
