Hanoi is looking to turn its afterdark
0:02
activities into a broader nighttime
0:04
economy, combining tourism, culture,
0:07
entertainment, and creative experiences.
0:09
A new plan issued by Hanoi People's
0:11
Committee last month sets out a
0:13
three-phase roadmap through 2045, with
0:16
the sector targeted to contribute more
0:18
than 12% of the capital's GRDP in the
0:21
long term. Our reporter joins the city
0:23
night tours to see how that vision is
0:26
beginning to take shape.
0:31
>> Hanoi is still busy long after the
0:34
sunset, and tonight I'm joining one of
0:36
the growing numbers of tours exploring
0:39
the capital after dark. Starting here on
0:41
the top deck of the double-deckers as it
0:44
moves through the capital at night.
0:47
>> From the upper deck, the tour takes in
0:49
familiar landmarks before continuing on
0:51
foot through the streets and alleys
0:54
around the Temple of Literature.
0:57
Here, the city's street names,
0:58
traditional occupations, and everyday
1:00
life become part of the experience.
1:05
>> There are alleys I've walked through
1:06
many times, but never realized they
1:09
offer such interesting experience. For
1:11
example, I can learn about the history
1:13
behind the names or discover local sites
1:16
like Thang Long Medical Temple.
1:21
>> The tour is among dozens of nighttime
1:23
products currently operating across
1:25
Hanoi as businesses explore new ways to
1:28
attract visitors after dark.
1:31
>> We want to be among the first to offer
1:33
an experience that gives people a fuller
1:35
view of Hanoi from indoor and outdoor
1:38
venues to artistic spaces and the
1:40
everyday life of local people.
1:44
>> Hanoi tourism is shifting from growth in
1:46
visitor numbers towards greater depth
1:48
and quality.
1:50
This means creating more economic value
1:52
from our cultural heritage and artistic
1:54
assets, as well as a night time
1:56
entertainment and cultural experience.
2:00
>> This shift is now part of Hanoi's
2:02
broader strategy for developing its
2:04
night time economy, but existing
2:06
activities remain relatively fragmented.
2:09
While the city still needs more spaces
2:11
and facilities to support a wider range
2:14
of activities after dark.
2:17
>> What Hanoi's night time economy needs in
2:20
my opinion and experience
2:23
uh are more open spaces.
2:26
Uh open not just in terms of being
2:28
exterior, but also open interiors that
2:31
are accessible to a wide range of age
2:33
groups and more communal activity.
2:36
>> Hanoi's new plan aims to address that
2:38
gap by developing key night time
2:40
economic zones by 2035,
2:43
from heritage and culture [music] in
2:44
Hoan Kiem and Cua Nam to modern
2:47
entertainment in Tay Ho and Me Dinh, and
2:49
creative industries and cultural
2:51
experiences in suburban areas and craft
2:54
villages. By 2045, Hanoi aims to attract
2:57
eight to 10 million international
2:59
visitors a year [music] to night time
3:01
activities, while establishing itself as
3:04
a city of night time cultural
3:06
experiences.
