ANTD.VN - In 2023, Ocean City recorded more than 2 million visitors coming to have fun, entertain, and experience thanks to the attraction of a series of "blockbuster" festivals held at this attractive destination. This is considered one of the important driving forces helping Hanoi's tourism industry break through expectations.
"Continuous" festival , crowded with tourists
By the end of November 2023, Hanoi had welcomed 4.1 million international visitors, an increase of more than 3 times compared to the same period last year. Combined with domestic tourists, this number exceeded 22.6 million. Contributing to this breakthrough growth, it is impossible not to mention the role of new destinations and products and services appearing for the first time.
A typical example is the “destination city of Ocean City” in the East of the Capital, with its “specialties” being festivals and grand cultural and artistic programs. Along with that is a rare and hard-to-find utility ecosystem such as the VinWonders Hanoi Wave Park and Water Park marine park duo and entertainment - shopping - experience complexes of a scale not yet seen in Vietnam such as Mega Grand World…
In 2023, Ocean City was the venue for a series of blockbuster events. These include the opening ceremony of the City of Light Square during the April 30 - May 1 holiday; the Italian Food Festival, the Korean K-Fest Festival, which gathered famous local street foods... attracting tens of thousands of tourists to Hanoi and neighboring provinces...

“K-Day in K-Town” on November 25 is considered one of the most anticipated Korean cultural events at the end of 2023, kicking off a series of 79 year-end festivals in Ocean City that lasts through the Lunar New Year. The highlight is the series of events opening the entertainment and shopping destination Mega Grand World in December and the commercial service complex Center Point (Vinhomes Ocean Park 2).
Here, Ocean City will bring the quintessence of architecture and Asian and European culture to residents and tourists through Korean and Japanese cultural festivals, Italian-style Christmas celebrations or the Vietnamese Cuisine Celebration Festival. Next is the program "Welcome Tet as you wish - Giap Thin 2024" taking place from January 14 to February 14, 2024 with colors imbued with the quintessence of Vietnamese culture, promising to bring many emotions to visitors during the traditional Tet season of the nation.
In particular, The Grand Voyage show with a stage on a giant boat in the middle of the Venice River at Mega Grand World will be an art performance taking place every night, attracting a large number of international and domestic tourists when they set foot in the tourist city in the East of Hanoi.
With a systematic and large-scale investment and a strategy to focus on developing long-term destinations, along with tourism promotion policies such as increasing the number of vehicles and free VinBus transportation from the center and neighboring provinces to Mega Grand World, the last 3 months of the year are predicted to be the "golden season" of tourism in the East of Hanoi.

The special appeal of the multi-experience entertainment and shopping paradise Ocean City
In addition to the top-class festivals in the region, the factor that contributes to attracting tourists to Ocean City is also a series of "commercial coordinates" operating 24/7. Typically, at Vinhomes Ocean Park 1 - the first component of Ocean City, over the past 5 years, a series of famous domestic and foreign brands have gathered here, with high-quality standards. On weekends, residents of all ages coming to the "Central District" are very excited about the "exhausting" food tour journey with hundreds of culinary brands that are not inferior to the old town.

This shows the inherent attraction of a destination that is invested in a methodical and unique way, the most in the East of the Capital.
With the presence of nearly 300 famous brands in various food - service - shopping industries right in the opening phase, such as Tu Do Beer, Highlands Coffee, Katinat, Trung Nguyen Coffee, ... this place promises to become a "multi-experience universe" bustling 24/7 and 365 days/year in the North.
