Hanoi eyes 3.76 million international visitors in 2016
The capital city of Hanoi hopes to welcome nearly 21.2 million tourists in 2016, including 3.765 million international visitors, according to the municipal Department of Tourism.
The city targets to rake in more than VND60 trillion (US$2.7 billion) from tourism services this year, rising 8.11% against 2015.
In a bid to realise the goal, the tourism sector will focus on raising public awareness of tourism development, bolstering domestic and international cooperation to lure more tourists while enhancing tourism promotion activities.
In addition to providing support and addressing difficulties for enterprises, organisations and individuals joining in tourism development, the sector will invest more in human resource training.
