"What's the equivalent of having a house right next to VEC?"
On the weekend, Mr. Nguyen Van Thinh, a 72-year-old veteran, and his children departed from Hai Phong to VEC. It is predicted that the closer the Exhibition get to the end, the more crowded it will be, and there may be congestion, but he is still determined to set off.
"This is not only a place to display artifacts, but also a symbol of national pride. People are very lucky to have such a thing once in their lives. If I don't witness it with my own eyes, I will regret it for the rest of my life," Mr. Thinh said emotionally.
From Ho Chi Minh City, the family of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong (46 years old) also traveled thousands of kilometers to Hanoi before the closing day to visit the largest exhibition in history - an event that "caused a storm" on social networks for the past half month.
Even if you have to spend time and money to get the experience of one in 80 years, it is still worth it. The happiest thing is the surrounding residents, just a few steps away to the Exhibition. What's the equivalent of having a house right next to VEC," he shared.
Ms. Nguyen Hoai Anh - a tourist who took more than 4 hours to travel from Quang Ninh to the Exhibition - also shared the same feeling. Born and raised in the land of Ha Long heritage, she deeply understands the value of living in wonder. It is not only a source of pride when the place you live becomes an iconic destination, but also a privilege to enjoy that beauty every day, instead of having to arrange expensive and not always easy vacations.
Seeing Vinhomes Global Gate residents just walk a few minutes to get directly into the event and see that they really have a vision, said Ms. Hoai Anh.
The symbolic raw material in the prosperous cardiovascular system
Located in the land of the ancient Capital of the Golden Land, which was once the capital of the ancient Lac country, VEC has a dual symbolic meaning: both a modern project with a scale of top 10 in the world, and associated with the depth of culture and national history. After less than half a month of operation, this place has turned the Northeast of Hanoi into an "event capital" with a series of festivals, concerts, races, and exhibitions with millions of visitors.
Located at the center of Vinhomes Global Gate, VEC is considered an "explosion" to activate Vietnam's exhibition, cultural and entertainment industry, making this area the most prestigious coordinate, converging global quintessence. Heads of countries, leaders of multinational corporations, international entrepreneurs, senior experts, A-list artists... will always be present here.
It is estimated that VEC will welcome about 60 million visitors/year. The flow of customers will create a vibrant trading flow, along with diverse business opportunities. Real estate around exhibition centers in many countries has increased in price remarkably thanks to the huge flow of customers, and Vinhomes Global Gate is no exception to that rule.
The Vietnam Exhibition Center will stimulate consumption, promote MICE tourism, create space and forums to promote special products and services, Dr. Can Van Luc, member of the Prime Ministers Policy Advisory Council, assessed.
In the near future, Dong Anh will become a new CBD in the Northeast of the Capital. The bustling scene on Truong Sa Street during the Exhibition days not only shows the magnetic appeal of VEC, but also opens up a vibrant prospect for the entire region.
When Tu Lien Bridge, metro and a series of key infrastructure are completed, crowding will no longer be a concern, but will become a familiar hit and also a growth driver of an " Expo city". Living at Vinhomes Global Gate means that 40,000 residents will be present right in the dam of the times. Every day of opening is to see the festival, every step is to touch the international rhythm of life.
Previously, to attend a big event, I usually had to drive for an hour. Now, just walk for 4-5 minutes to meet a global businessman or an A-list star. These are experiences that not everyone with money can buy, said Mr. Nguyen Dinh Duc, a resident of Vinhomes Global Gate.
With the " marvel" successor to VEC, Vinhomes Global Gate not only brings convenience, but also a mark of position. This is a place where the world's prosperous values converge, and is also an invisible card affirming the owner's stature. Becoming a resident of Vinhomes Global Gate is possessing an iconic quality that is difficult to copy, where every moment reflects the class of the elite, especially on occasions when millions of people long for to be present like the recent September 2 festival.
