The Hanoi Municipal Tourism Department has coordinated with Vietnam Airlines to organise a reception for a fam trip delegation from 12 Australian travel agencies, following a period of disruption due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
The fam trip delegation from Australia had interesting experiences in Hanoi.
The journey of the fam trip delegation started from November 7 to 13.
This is the first international fam trip welcome activity of the Hanoi Municipal Tourism Department after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The members of the delegation had interesting experiences in Hanoi, Quang Ninh and Ninh Binh. Of which, Hanoi is the destination chosen most often by travel agencies to survey.
Representatives of Australian travel agencies visited famous tourist destinations of Hanoi such as its Old Quarter, Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature Complex), Bat Trang Pottery Village, and Ha Thai Lacquer Village.
The members of the delegation also had unique experiences such as: watching the real-life performance of "The Quintessence of Tonkin" at the Tuan Chau - Quoc Oai Tourist Area, watching water puppet shows at Thang Long Puppet Theatre, and enjoying traditional food.
In the period before the COVID-19 epidemic occurred, Hanoi City always welcomed many international fam trip delegations every year. This activity aims to introduce destinations and new products of Hanoi tourism to foreign travel agencies.
The reopening of the fam trip delegation opens great opportunities for Hanoi tourism as well as other provinces linking with the capital's tourism. From the tourism survey, travel agencies from Australia will design and offer tours to Hanoi and the provinces that the survey team conducts. In 2023, the Hanoi Municipal Tourism Department will continue to welcome fam trip and press trip delegations from other potential international markets.
