The story

Hanoi Tourism Gift Festival in Hanoi

The Hanoi Tourism Gift Festival is an annual trade fair organized by Hanoi's tourism authorities to showcase souvenirs, handicrafts, and OCOP (One Commune One Product) items from the capital and Vietnam's craft villages, part of a long-running effort to build a more distinctive tourism souvenir industry for the city.

Vietnamese tourism officials have for years pointed to a specific weakness in Hanoi's visitor economy: despite the city's dense concentration of heritage sites, cuisine, and craft villages, it has historically lacked a strong lineup of distinctive, easily recognizable souvenirs compared with destinations that have built entire retail identities around a handful of signature gift items.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival exists partly to address a frequently raised gap in Vietnamese tourism, the lack of distinctive, recognizably local souvenirs, by giving craft villages and small producers a dedicated showcase and, in some editions, a competitive design award for the best new tourism gift item

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than a general handicraft market, it is explicitly framed around gifting and tourism retail, connecting Hanoi's OCOP program of certified local specialty products to its visitor economy
