Director General of the Vietnam National Tourism Administration Nguyen Trung Khanh highlighted the leading brand Michelin Guide and stressed that Michelin Guide-rated restaurants from all over the world have actively promoted their status and been more attractive to dinners.
Director Khanh said that the announcement of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh restaurants receiving Michelin awards was a turning point for Vietnamese restaurants to raise their brands to host more tourists, especially international ones.
The administration will popularize these restaurants in roadshows, international fairs, theme programs on Vietnamese cuisine and culture, particularly in target markets so that more people will know about Michelin Guide-rated Vietnamese establishments and visit the country, he added.
Addressing the Michelin Hanoi ceremony, General Director of Sun Hospitality Group Nguyen Vu Quynh Anh hoped that more Vietnamese restaurants will receive Michelin awards in the time to come thanks to the great efforts of chefs and those engaging in the culinary industry throughout Vietnam. “Vietnam will be a high-class culinary destination that every international tourist needs to visit once in a lifetime,” Anh hoped.
