Vietnam has a new showpiece events venue


Hanoi has a new showpiece venue with the launch of the Vietnam Exposition Center, which will host major events in the Vietnamese capital.

The new building in the Đông Anh District was opened by the exhibition "80 Years of Independence - Freedom - Happiness."

The event brought Vietnam's history, its people, and recent achievements to life, drawing tens of thousands of visitors in the opening week.

The inauguration coincided with a series of major projects marking the 80th National Day of Vietnam on September 2.

Not only is it the largest facility of its kind in south-east Asia, covering nearly 90 hectares, but it also stands as a symbol of Vietnam, a nation that endured decades of war and hardship yet has risen to enjoy remarkable economic growth.

The Center will host conferences, exhibitions, and cultural events - helping fuel Vietnam's MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) tourism sector.

It provides easy access to Nội Bài International Airport and major transportation routes - making it convenient for both domestic and international guests.

The upcoming launch of the Tu Lien Bridge - a key infrastructure project spanning the Red River - will provide a fast connection between the city centre and the exhibition complex.

One highlight is the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, with its flowing dome inspired by the "Golden Turtle" (Kim Quy) of Vietnamese folklore.

The venue is projected to welcome up to 60 million visitors each year.

National Museum’s Experience at the Glass Rotunda (July 2025): This multimedia journey by the National Museum of Singapore will explore what has defined Singapore’s place in the world and the importance of the sea in shaping its history over the past 700 years. The installation includes RFID wristbands, providing an interactive way to engage with Singapore’s history.

National Day Parade (August 9): While tickets to the parade itself are limited, visitors can join in the celebrations in the Marina Bay area. They will be aerial fly pasts and fireworks displays.

Singapore Biennale 2025 (October 2025 to March 2026): The Singapore Biennale 2025 will allow visitors to explore the nation’s evolving identity as contemporary art transforms familiar public spaces including Fort Canning Park and the Rail Corridor.

Singapore’s usual calendar of festivals and events will also continue. See What’s Happening in Singapore | Festivals & Events.

As well as leisure tourism, a major focus is also on the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) sector, which is expected to triple its tourism receipts by 2040, contributing 10% of overall tourism revenue.
