HÀ NỘI – Hà Nội’s tourism industry aims to greet over 30 million visitors, including 7 million international arrivals, and earn more than VNĐ130 trillion (over US$5 billion) from tourism in 2025.

Under its development plan, the sector's contribution to the city's Gross Regional Domestic Product is expected to surpass 8% and the room occupancy for hotels and accommodations is projected to exceed 60%.

In the 2024-2025 period, Hà Nội continues to develop its tourism sector in a sustainable and efficient manner, serving as a tourism gateway for both the northern region and the country, and a safe, friendly and high quality destination.
