I would like to talk about the rapid growth of tourism businesses in Hanoi over the past few years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. More and more tourism companies have been established and most of them focus on different markets such as tourists from India, South Africa or Australia. I’ve also noticed that a lot of tourism offices or agencies have appeared around the old quarter or one game lake which make the city look even more lively and energetic. Nowadays it’s very common to see international tourists strolling around and exploring the city especially other weekends there are also many interesting tourism activities for international tourists that have become much more popular in Hanoi like cultural experiment tours like they want to Guan Fugou incense village zip tours or walking street food tours. For example, when I went out with my friends recently, I saw a group of visitors sitting on a military zip while another group are taking part in walking street food tour around the old quarter with their Vietnamese guide. It looks really exciting and lovely. So I feel very positive about this development because it helps promote Vietnamese culture and also create job opportunities for local people. It also makes Halloween much more modern, culturally diverse and international.

I would like to talk about the rapid growth of tourism businesses in Hanoi over the past few years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. More and more tourism companies have been established, and most of them focus on different markets such as tourists from India, South Africa, or Australia. I've also noticed that many tourism offices or agencies have appeared around the Old Quarter or Hoan Kiem Lake, which makes the city look even more lively and energetic. Nowadays, it's very common to see international tourists strolling around and exploring the city, especially on weekends. There are also many interesting tourism activities for international tourists that have become much more popular in Hanoi, like cultural experience tours, zip tours to Guan Fugou incense village, or walking street food tours. For example, when I went out with my friends recently, I saw a group of visitors sitting on a military zip while another group was taking part in a walking street food tour around the Old Quarter with their Vietnamese guide.
