Capital city expects 14 more luxury hotels

According to the municipal Service of Culture, Sports and Tourism, investors have pledged the completion of an additional 14 luxury hotels in Hanoi by 2010.

Currently, the capital city boasts eight 5-star hotels, as well as six 4-star hotels and 20 three-star hotels. With the upcoming millennium anniversary and the ongoing increase of Meeting, Incentive, Convention and Exposition (Mice) tourism, Hanoi is facing a rapidly growing demand of high-quality accomodations.

Over the last nine months alone, the municipal administration licensed 10 four- and five-star construction projects. It is considering six other applications for investment in this industry.
