Hanoi, Sep 26 (Prensa Latina) With a cultural and historical influence that reaches other regions worldwide, Hanoi has so far received 4.7 million foreign tourists and ratified its aspiration to reach seven million in 2019.

The figure represents a year-on-year increase of 10.1% and including the numbers of local vacationers, the total is 21.5 million, the Municipal Tourism Service reported on Thursday.

Total revenues amounted to US$3.2 billion, an increase of 30.9% that demonstrates the efforts of Hanoi authorities to offer more comprehensive services and transform the so-called leisure industry into one of its main sources of hard currency.

Another sector with positive performance was room occupancy in 4 and 5-star hotels, which was over 70% in the period, thanks to the growing reservations of visitors from South Korea, China and Japan.

Hanoi has 3,500 accomodation facilities including hotels, condominiums and hostels, with a total of 60,812 rooms.

Local authorities have been working to improve these facilities and incorporate others, expand and improve the infrastructure of traditional destinations, increase the quality of services and attract more domestic and foreign investment to the sector.

The city's Tourism Service aims to receive about 29 million visitors this year, including more than seven million foreigners, 17% more than in 2018.

TripAdvisor, Business Insider, Discovery Channel, CNN and the websites of other important tourism-related institutions have placed this ancient city among the top 20 destinations worldwide.
