Hà Nội to host domestic goods week to boost consumption
The ‘Made in Vietnam 2024’ Goods Week will take place in two areas of the capital.
A week-long event introducing products made in Việt Nam will be held in the capital in late December to boost domestic consumption, as the New Year and Tết (Lunar New Year) celebrations draw near.
The event, officially called ‘Made in Vietnam 2024’ Goods Week, will take place in Hà Đông District during December 20-24, and in Sơn Tây Town during December 26-29.
The expected venue for the event in Hà Đông is the ParkCity Hanoi residential area on Lê Trọng Tấn Street, La Khê Ward, while in Sơn Tây, it is set to be held at the Sơn Tây ancient citadel pedestrian street.
Each location will feature approximately 150-170 booths showcasing signature products such as OCOP (One Commune–One Product) items, regional specialties, traditional craft village products from Hà Nội and other provinces and items with export potential.
The event will include culinary and cultural activities and show off some traditional crafts.
According to the Hà Nội Promotion Agency on Investment, Trade and Tourism, the event aims to promote domestically produced products, boost local consumption and increase retail sales of goods and services, especially during the year-end period.
This will also help raise awareness and consumer trust in the quality and brands of Vietnamese products, encouraging consumers to chose to buy local.
The event will also connect distributors, shopping centres, supermarkets, wholesale markets and e-commerce platforms, enabling them to find new product sources, meet potential business partners and get to know each other’s production capacity, supply capabilities and goods-sourcing opportunities.
It is hoped the event will grow into an annual trade and tourism promotional event. — VNS
