The drone performance, called "Scent of West Lake", delivered a brand new experience combining depictions of Hanoi’s tourism landmarks with a modern laser light show.
Dang Huong Giang, Director of the municipal Department of Tourism, said: "The performance is the first of a series of festival events and tourism promotion programs this year, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Hanoi’s Liberation Day (October 10). It’s an opportunity for the city’s tourism industry to promote the image of a safe, friendly, attractive Hanoi to visitors."
Hanoi will hold 50 cultural festivals and other tourism events this year, including the Hanoi Tourism Festival 2024, the Hanoi Tourism Gift Festival 2024, the Hanoi Autumn Festival, the Culinary and Craft Village Tourism Festival, and the Hanoi Ao Dai Festival 2024 to promote its image as a "Cultural, Civilized, and Modern City", a "City for Peace", and a "Creative City". Hanoi will create unique and attractive tourism products based on local cultural resources, history, and people.
Ms. Giang said: "Visitors can come and experience Hanoi’s 4 seasons. In each of the 12 months we will offer some unique tourism products."
Hanoi hopes to welcome 27 million visitors this year, 9% more than last year. 5.5 million of them will be foreigners. To reach these targets, Hanoi will focus its resources on developing cultural tourism, MICE tourism, agricultural and rural tourism, entertainment and sports tourism, eco-tourism, resorts, health care, and golf tourism.
