The city’s major markets include Germany with 104,900 visitors, increasing four times on-year; then comes China with a 32% growth rate or 76,600; France 32% (59,100); Japan 20% (50,900); Australia 7% (46,400); the US 1% (35,400), and the UK 20% (31,900).

Such increase is attributed to Việt Nam and Hà Nội’s tourism and cultural programs, according to the department.

The department has surveyed and built up a number of tourism programs and products based on the city’s comparative advantages. Programs such as tours to some ancient capital cities, Hà Nội’s cross-history tours, martial art tourism, museum tourism, and home-stay tourism have been being implemented by travel agents, the department said.
