The show, featuring over 550 booths from 300 exhibitors from Hanoi and provinces nationwide, showcase five main groups of items: home décor and handicrafts, indoor and outdoor furniture, home textiles and embroidery, gifts and ethnic items, and personal accessories.

The organisers will also prepare a special display area to exhibit sophisticated and well-designed products manufactured by enterprises in the ‘One Village One Product’ (OVOP) movement, both from Vietnam and other regional countries including Indonesia, Thailand, Laos and the Philippines.

The OVOP area has become a highlight of the Hanoi Gift Show, following the success of its two previous editions, creating prestige for the export community as well as with international buyers. This year, OVOP will introduce several specific item groups in fashion, tourism gifts, flowers and trademark building.

The event, running until October 30, provides an ideal platform for enterprises operating in the handicraft industry to advertise and introduce products to foreign importers with the aim of expanding markets and seeking new co-operative partners.
