HÀ NỘI — The Hà Nội Promotion Agency (HPA) has announced a number of activities to popularise local tourism and culture in the capital city in December.

Accordingly, the Hà Nội Department of Industry and Trade, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the People’s Committee of Tây Hồ District, Sơn Tây Town and Đông Anh District will coordinate to organise trade fairs to promote local tourism and culture.

The first fair will take place on December 21-24 at the Lạc Long Quân Flower Garden in Tây Hồ District.

As many as 120 booths will be available displaying, introducing, and trading products of enterprises in the district in particular and Hà Nội in general.

There are areas for not only Hanoian products but also typical products and craft villages from other cities and provinces in a decorated landscape space.

Organisers will also set up a welcome gate and stage for enterprises to demonstrate products, promote tourism, and introduce their culture.

The Tây Hồ event’s opening ceremony will be held at 7pm on December 22.

Similarly, the second and third fairs will be arranged in Sơn Tây and Đông Anh with the same scale.

Both fairs will officially open at 7pm on December 27 at the Sơn Tây Stadium Square and Đông Anh’s Cultural House.

The programmes will be wrapped up on December 30.

HPA said the fairs aimed to strengthen trade promotion activities, introduce products, expand markets, and seek output for typical products of Hà Nội and other localities.

At the same time, they would help to introduce the cities and provinces as interesting tourist destinations to people, partly contributing to promoting the tourism industry.

HPA said the opening ceremonies of all three events would be opportunities for local residents and visitors to enjoy cultural diversity and specialities through music and dance performances and product trials. VNS
