Separate night entertainment complex is expected to be formed in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.

Tourists are expected to spend at least one night in the localities where the project is implemented.

By 2030, separate night entertainment complexes will be developed in other major tourist centers mentioned.

The project points out five models of night tourism product development including cultural artistic performance; sports activities, health care and beauty; shopping and night entertainment; night tour model; and culinary culture and night food service.
