In Ninh Binh, Tràng An restaurant has been chosen to serve the guest group. However, the guests will not be served special mountain goat dishes from Ninh Binh, instead, the restaurant will primarily serve traditional Indian vegetarian dishes.
With an unprecedented large number of guests, localities, hotels, restaurants... have also made special preparations for this tourism development opportunity.
Accordingly, each group with a scale of 30-35 guests requires a minimum of 3 guides who speak Hindi. Information boards at some famous tourist sites will also be translated into Hindi for visitors. Additionally, local businesses are guided to improve service quality.
As of now, various agencies, departments, tourism businesses, tourist sites, and accommodation facilities are ready to welcome guests.

This event is seen as an important step affirming Vietnam’s position as an attractive destination for international tourism and events, especially as the trend of Indian tourists coming to Vietnam continues to rise.
