More than 100 tourism businesses have registered to develop their holiday packages as part of a domestic tourism stimulus programme, according to the Hanoi Department of Tourism on November 19.

Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex in the northern province of

The move will see a total of 85 travel firms, 21 hotels, shopping facilities, and 10 tourist sites join in the scheme, with the stimulus programme set to see the launch of more than 346 tours.

Most notably, the Hanoi People's Committee has also signed a co-operation agreement with three local airlines, namely Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, and Bamboo Airways, in an attempt to boost local tourism.

A range of tours have also been designed for tourists, including tours to Hoa Lo Prison, Hoang Thanh-Thang Long, the Trang An-Bai Dinh tourism site in Ninh Binh, Bat Trang ceramic village, and Duong Lam ancient village. In addition, a number of tours which links Hanoi with northern provinces and cities has also been launched.

Moreover, a diverse range of cultural and tourism activities are set to take place throughout Hanoi, including the Old Quarter, the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, and Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam, also known as the Temple of Literature.

Just to the west of Hanoi, Ba Vi National Park will organise a hot air balloon fiesta and eco-tourism tours, enabling visitors to enjoy the beauty of local wild sunflowers and water lilies.
