Hanoi to develop 'food tour map'

Hanoi plans to create a "food tour map" to help home and foreign tourists explore local cuisine on their own, thus further developing culinary tourism into a strength of the capital.

The initiative came following the recognition of Hanoi’s restaurants with Michelin stars, a highly regarded award in the culinary world that has put the city's gastronomic scene in the spotlight.

Of the 103 restaurants nationwide selected for the Michelin Guide, Hanoi has 48, including three Michelin-starred restaurants, 13 Bib Gourmand-awarded affordable eateries, and 32 Michelin-selected restaurants, along with one Michelin Young Chef Award winner.

The city will enhance the promotion of Michelin-starred restaurants and other reputable eateries in Hanoi through various communication channels, social media, and domestic and international tourism promotion events.

Such an effort is set to raise awareness of food safety and hygiene, and improve the communication skills of restaurateurs and service quality.

With the food tour map and continued efforts to improve food safety and hygiene, Hanoi's tourism industry is poised to attract more food-loving visitors in the coming period.

Hanoi's tourism industry aims to develop a diverse range of culinary services by 2030, focusing on night food streets, culinary villages, and restaurant chains.

With unique and enticing features loved by international friends, the capital has been voted among the world’s top three culinary destinations by Tripadvisor./.
