Solutions to Develop Traditional Craft Villages Associated with Tourism in Hanoi Capital

Abstract

Traditional craft villages are humanistic tourism resources that contribute to attracting a large number of tourists, enriching and diversifying tourism activities, creating many attractive options for tourists. Tourism associated with Hanoi's traditional craft villages is increasingly attracting tourists because of the long-standing cultural values and creativity of craft workers through each typical handicraft product. Visitors to Hanoi's craft villages can not only admire the landscape of a typical Northern Delta village with banyan trees, wells, and communal houses, but can also visit the production site and directly interact with local artisans craftsmen and participate in testing some stages of product production. This creates the unique appeal of craft village tourism. Despite many improvements, the current development of craft village tourism in Hanoi is not commensurate with its potential. On that basis, the article studies the potential and current status of developing traditional craft villages associated with tourism in Hanoi, thereby proposing a number of solutions to promote the development of traditional craft villages associated with tourism in Hanoi.
