According to initial statistics released by the Department of Tourism, during the 2026 New Year holiday, Hue was estimated to welcome around 85,000 visitors, representing an increase of 25% compared to the same period last year.

For more than two decades, Hue City Association for Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin has not only accompanied and shared the pain of more than 3,200 victims, but has also served as a compassionate home.

Business intertwined with the promotion of Hue's traditional culture is a path that more and more young people are pursuing, asserting the creativity, identity, and spirit of self-reliance.

Amid the global wave of green transition, Hue has no choice but to seize this opportunity to craft appropriate policies and solutions that balance growth objectives with green, sustainable development.

More than just a heritage city, Hue is increasingly becoming a “regional diffusion axis”, linking economic corridors and opening opportunities for cooperation and sustainable investment for the Central region.
