Hoan Kiem strives to be a friendly destination for tourists

Many tourists spend more days in their travel itinerary to explore the unique features of the Old Quarter and the cultural spaces in the Hoan Kiem District.

Hoan Kiem District, located in downtown Hanoi and a magnet for many domestic and foreign visitors when they arrive in Hanoi, should continue to be a friendly destination for tourists as expected by Nguyen Ngoc Tuan, Chairman of the municipal People's Council.

Tuan stressed at a recent working session that Hoan Kiem District must take the lead in maintaining construction and urban order, renovating, beautifying, and upgrading streets, flower gardens, parks, villas, and buildings with cultural and historical value.

As the core district of Hanoi, Hoan Kiem District must be among the top localities to comply with the government's resolution dated May 2022 on "Direction and Tasks of Hanoi's Development until 2023, Vision until 2045."

"The district focuses on economic development with rapid and sustainable growth, in harmony with the development of socio-cultural fields and environmental protection. It also puts emphasis on trade, services, and tourism in the direction of culture, civilization, and modernity," Tuan added.

In addition, the district has set itself the task of tapping the potential of the walking space around Hoan Kiem Lake and surrounding areas, as well as maintaining political security, social order, and safety for activities and events in the area.

According to the Hoan Kiem District People's Committee, the district's average growth rate for 2020-2023 is estimated at 9.8%, of which the tourism industry posts a growth rate of 21.4%. The economic structure is shifting in a positive direction, the share of the service industry in the district's economic structure is 98.04%.

The district continues to identify historical and cultural architectural works and creative spaces as the district's most valuable strengths. This is an important lever to create structural transformation, reordering the economic priorities namely trade, handicrafts, and services.

Since 2021, five relics have been upgraded, including communal houses, Vu Thach Temple, Cantonese Assembly Hall 22 Hang Buom, Co Vu Communal House, Ha Vi Communal House, and Trung Yen Communal House.

Hoan Kiem District has proactively coordinated with travel companies to launch the "Heritage Journey" tour to preserve heritage values and promote tourist attractions in Hoan Kiem, gradually contributing to raising people's awareness and love, especially the young generation, in preserving and nurturing tangible and intangible cultural values.

As a result, tourists have spent more days on their itineraries to explore the unique features of the Old Quarter and cultural spaces in the district, especially the walking space around Hoan Kiem Lake, which has become an iconic symbol of success in organizing pedestrian streets throughout the country.

For better development, Nguyen Ngoc Tuan suggested that the district should find solutions to utilize and beautify the banks of the Red River.
