Rajan said that all people interviewed in a survey said they had good experience in Ha Noi, adding that the film crew were also fascinated by the city and wished to visit it again.
Mr. Chung said that a survey among foreign visitors at Noi Bai International Airport showed that many tourists had learned about Viet Nam through CNN.
He expressed his hope that in 2018, Ha Noi and CNN will continue to effectively implement their signed cooperation deal.
He asked the CNN to share information to help Ha Noi map out specific orientations for tourism development and find suitable forms of promotion.
The Ha Noi leader was keen on discussing collaboration with CNN in the 2019-2020 period.
Rajan said that the third clip about Viet Nam will be complete in several months, which is expected to introduce different aspects of Ha Noi to the world.
She suggested that Ha Noi join more trade fairs to introduce its tourism. She also hoped that CNN’s clips of Ha Noi will be screened on Vietnam Airlines’ flights.
Chairman Chung thanked the CNN executive for her proposals and said he will discuss the idea with the national carrier.
