Highland market with Black H'mong people from Sapa

In the spirit of supporting community tourism, the Metropole Hanoi Hotel proposed a new initiative, facilitating a two-night stay for 11 representatives from the Black Hmong community at one of Vietnam's most luxurious hotels. The program aims to broaden their understanding of domestic tourism while enhancing their skills in sales, logistics, event planning, hotel management, and sustainable business development.

The Community Tourism Development Program, funded by the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) and implemented in collaboration with Capilano University (Canada) and Hanoi Open University, aims to build and enhance the capacity of ethnic minority communities, especially women, as well as local village authorities and the community in general.

At the Highland Market, visitors will have the opportunity to meet the locals and take home many interesting items, while also contributing revenue to the development of the people in the mountainous region.
