Australians explore Hanoi tourism during familiarization trip
VOV.VN - An Australian group made up of 12 representatives from 12 travel firms took part in a familiarization trip to Hanoi from November 7 to November 13, according to the Hanoi Department of Tourism.
This is the first international famtrip the Hanoi Department of Tourism has hosted in the post COVID-19 pandemic period.
During their stay, the Australian guests visited a number of popular tourist destinations in Hanoi, along with those in neighbouring Quang Ninh, and Ninh Binh provinces.
They surveyed a number of famous tourist attractions around the capital, including the President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Old Quarter, the Temple of Literature (first university in Vietnam), Bat Trang ancient pottery village, and Ha Thai lacquer village.
They also took a double-decker bus tour, sampled local street food, and enjoyed performances displaying folklores in the northern region, including water puppetry shows.
According to the Hanoi Department of Tourism, the event was part of Hanoi’s efforts to introduce its destinations and fresh tourism products to Australian travel agencies, and to ramp up tourism promotion in an effective manner.
The department plans to receive more famtrip and presstrip delegations from other potential markets next year.
