Hanoi: Hanoi welcomed around 560,000 visitors during the New Year holiday from January 1 to 4, earning a total revenue of 2.1 trillion VND (nearly 79.85 million USD), marking increases of 250% in volume and 254% in value compared to the same period last year. During the days, the capital city served 110,000 foreign arrivals and 450,000 domestic tourists, up nearly 287% and over 240%, respectively. These figures reflect a strong recovery and robust growth right at the start of the year.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the substantial increase in tourist numbers and revenue highlights the rising appeal of Hanoi as a destination. The impressive growth in both foreign and domestic visitors suggests a revitalized interest in the city's cultural and historical attractions, as well as an improved capacity to accommodate a larger number of tourists. The notable rise in visitors is indicative of Hanoi's successful measures to attract tourists as travel restrictions ease globally.
