Craft villages and tourism businesses in Hanoi have been tasked with building trademarks for local souvenir products, in line with a plan of the city to carry out the national tourism development strategy to 2030.
With 1,350 craft villages, including 308 traditional ones, Hanoi has seen a need to balance maintaining production and preservation of traditional values, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hanoi aims to have additional 700 products qualified for standards of the One Commune - One Product (OCOP) programme by the end of this year, heard a recent conference of the municipal Party Committee on the implementation of the programme.
Craft villages in the capital city of Hanoi are sharing a concern over the shortage of highly-skilled craftsmen, which is hindering them from improving the designs and competitiveness of products.
Fifty highly-polluted craft villages across Hanoi will be helped with waste treatment between now and 2020, according to the municipal Department of Industry and Trade.
