A group of 4,500 guests will experience a luxurious vacation in Hanoi. Divided into smaller groups of 200 to 400 people, guests will enjoy privacy and attentive service at upscale 5-star hotels such as InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72, Meliá Hanoi, and Pan Pacific Hanoi.
With room rates ranging from 2.1 million to 4.4 million VND per night, guests can enjoy modern, luxurious amenities and world-class services. In particular, these hotels also prepare spectacular gala nights, promising unforgettable experiences for the entire group.
The largest Indian tour group ever, with 4,500 visitors, will arrive in Hanoi today.
Novotel Hanoi Thai Ha Hotel (Dong Da District, Hanoi) welcomed a total of 800 guests out of 4500. Of these, approximately 400 guests stayed during the first wave (August 27 - 30), with the remainder arriving during the second wave (August 31 - September 3).
The entire system of 343 rooms has been meticulously arranged, with full amenities and high-standard services. Hotel staff have also been specifically assigned and deployed, ensuring that all are ready with the best skills and foreign language abilities to serve guests professionally.
Representatives from these accommodations said the tour group had almost no specific requests regarding lodging but were particularly concerned about food.
The upcoming Indian delegation of 4,500 visitors to Vietnam has stringent requirements, raising concerns about a diverse and complex culinary landscape. Due to their differing beliefs and religions, the members of the delegation have distinct dietary needs, ranging from strict vegetarianism to diets that restrict beef, pork, or seafood.
Furthermore, ensuring hygiene and the origin of ingredients is also a crucial requirement. In addition, Indian eating habits are quite unique, with meal times often late and tardiness being common. Communication is also a major challenge, as some customers only speak Hindi, making it difficult to convey information and meet their needs.
Movenpick Living West Hanoi Hotel, expecting to host 300 guests over four days, will utilize the entire first-floor lobby as a dining area for the group. They will also hire an Indian chef to prepare a special selection of familiar dishes for the group, alongside Hanoi specialties such as pho, fish noodle soup, and fish cakes. A special dessert will be made from Vong village's sticky rice flakes.
Service providers are actively preparing to ensure the satisfaction of this group of tourists.
At InterContinental Hanoi Landmark 72, we offer traditional Indian, vegetarian, and vegan cuisine, allowing guests to enjoy signature Indian dishes from various regions. All kitchen equipment used for serving Indian food is also imported from India.
In recent years, the market has begun to witness a surge in the number of Indian restaurants in tourist destinations, especially Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Da Nang, etc.
According to experts, Vietnam's efforts to adapt and shift in welcoming Indian tourists are considered "swift, especially in the context of losing an important source of international tourists, namely China."
To create memorable experiences for the tourist group, the Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Tourism Administration requested that localities organize activities to introduce the destination, the hospitality, and the pride in the land and Vietnam.
