    Why it matters

    Attending Food & Hospitality Vietnam - Hanoi 2027 on 2027-09-21 to 2027-09-23 in Hanoi lets buyers and specifiers benchmark suppliers, see live demonstrations, and compress months of vendor meetings into one focused trade visit — worthwhile when your category roadmap aligns with the official exhibitor profile.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Digital buyer journeys

    Trade buyers now research exhibitors, compare specifications and pre-book meetings online before they ever reach the show floor.

    02

    Sustainability in procurement

    Procurement teams increasingly weigh energy use, recyclable packaging and carbon reporting when selecting food and hospitality suppliers.

    03

    Automation and labour efficiency

    Kitchen and hotel operators are automating repetitive tasks to offset rising labour costs and persistent staffing shortages.

    04

    Regional supply-chain resilience

    Buyers are widening sourcing across multiple countries and regions to reduce dependence on single suppliers and shipping lanes.

    05

    Hybrid engagement models

    Live demonstrations still drive decisions, but digital catalogues and follow-up webinars extend selling well beyond the show dates.

    Food and hospitality trade fair circuit

    Book Hanoi hotels and distributor meetings 8–12 weeks ahead; peer fairs in the sector cluster in the first and fourth quarters, so build the circuit around the 21–23 September 2027 Hanoi dates.

    Buyers sourcing for Vietnam and wider Southeast Asia typically plan Food & Hospitality Vietnam – Hanoi 2027 alongside the region's larger food and HORECA fairs, using them to compare products, pricing, distributor terms and service coverage across markets in a single calendar year.

    Pre-show

    Lock exhibitor meetings, product demonstrations and distributor appointments for the Hanoi edition.

    Show week

    Hall walk-throughs, live kitchen and equipment demos, and supplier negotiations at VEC.

    Weather

    Late September in Hanoi sits at the tail of the wet season: daytime temperatures reach 30–32C with overnight lows of 24–26C and high humidity, and the month typically brings 13–22 rain days with roughly 110–125 mm of rainfall. Showers usually arrive as short, heavy afternoon downpours, so keep a compact umbrella or light rain jacket handy and allow extra transfer time on the Dong Anh corridor to VEC. Exhibition halls are strongly air conditioned, so a light layer is useful across long days on the floor.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Vietnam's mobile networks — Viettel, Vinaphone, Mobifone and Vietnamobile — deliver fast 4G with 5G rolling out in central Hanoi, and tourist SIM or eSIM plans start at around VND 150,000–400,000 (about USD 6–16) for 30 days of generous data. SIM counters operate in the arrivals hall at Noi Bai International Airport, and eSIMs from Viettel, Airalo and similar providers can be activated before departure so you have data on landing for ride-hail bookings. VEC provides venue Wi-Fi for visitors, but a local data plan remains the reliable backup for exhibitor apps, QR badge scanning and messaging during the show.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Greetings and business etiquette

    A light handshake with both hands or a slight bow works well in Vietnamese business settings; exchange business cards with both hands and take a moment to read them. Address counterparts by their title and given name (Mr Hung, Ms Lan) rather than surname, and keep the first meeting relationship-building rather than price-focused.

    Tipping and payments

    Tipping is not traditional but is appreciated in hotels, restaurants and by drivers — around 5–10% at restaurants and VND 20,000–50,000 for taxi or hotel staff. Cards are widely accepted in hotels and larger restaurants in Hanoi, while cash in VND is needed for markets, small eateries and transport.

    Dress and conduct at the venue

    Business attire is smart and light: cotton shirts, trousers or skirts, and a jacket for air-conditioned halls and evening dinners. Remove shoes when entering homes and some temples, avoid touching people on the head or pointing with your feet, and keep a calm, quiet tone in meetings — public displays of frustration damage commercial relationships in Vietnam.

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: HAN

    Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) carries the international network for Hanoi, with direct services from Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Doha, Dubai and European hubs, and one-stop connections via Bangkok, Singapore, Seoul or Doha from most other origins. Book 6–10 weeks ahead for the 21–23 September 2027 dates, as September load factors rise with inbound business travel; morning arrivals on 20 September give a comfortable buffer before the opening day. Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet, Bamboo Airways and the major Asian and Gulf carriers all serve HAN, and domestic connections from Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang are frequent for buyers combining the Hanoi edition with the wider Vietnam food and hospitality circuit.

    Visa

    Most foreign business travellers to Vietnam need a visa. The 90-day e-visa (USD 25 single entry, USD 50 multiple entry) is applied for online through the official Vietnam National Electronic Visa system and covers attending trade fairs, meetings and conferences. Some nationalities are visa exempt; confirm your eligibility before booking flights.

    Estimated cost: USD 25 for a single-entry e-visa and USD 50 for a multiple-entry e-visa, payable online through the official government portal.

    Processing: Official e-visa approval is not instant, so apply online through evisa.gov.vn at least 2-3 weeks before departure to leave buffer for document corrections and peak-period queues.

    The 90-day e-visa is sufficient for most trade-fair trips and requires no local sponsor. Business visa codes DN1/DN2 apply to longer commercial assignments. e-Visa holders may enter through 42 designated border gates, including Vietnam's international airports, and holders may be able to apply for a new visa if invited or guaranteed by an organisation in Vietnam.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Noi Bai International Airport (HAN): 25–40 minutes off-peak; 45–70 minutes in morning and evening peak traffic; Cat Bi International Airport (HPH): 2–2 hours 30 minutes by road; Van Don International Airport (VDO): 2 hours 30 minutes – 3 hours 30 minutes by road. Allow road or rail time to Vietnam National Convention Center (VEC); on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Vietnam National Convention Center (VEC): Old Quarter (Hoan Kiem), ~18 km / 35–45 min to VEC: Hanoi Tirant Hotel; Old Quarter (Hoan Kiem), ~18 km / 35–45 min to VEC: Hanoi La Siesta Classic Ma May; Dong Da, ~16 km / 30–40 min to VEC: Novotel Hanoi Thai Ha.

    Ride-hail: Grab, Xanh SM (VinFast electric taxis) and Be all operate across Hanoi, including pick-up zones at Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) arrivals and drop-off at Vietnam National Convention Center (VEC) in Dong Anh District. Typical app fares run VND 350,000–500,000 from HAN to VEC (25–40 min off-peak) and VND 250,000–380,000 from the Old Quarter (30–45 min). Book the car before leaving the terminal on arrival day, and allow extra time on show mornings when the Dong Anh corridor and Nhat Tan Bridge carry exhibition traffic.

    Public transit: Hanoi's cheapest route to the venue is the public bus network. Express Bus 86 links Noi Bai International Airport with the city centre (VND 45,000 one way, every 15–20 minutes, 05:30–22:00), and standard city routes cost VND 7,000–10,000 per single trip. Local bus services run from Long Bien and the city centre into the Dong Anh corridor close to VEC. Metro Line 2A (Cat Linh–Yen Nghia) and Line 3 (Nhon–Hanoi Station) speed up city legs, but neither reaches Dong Anh yet, so plan a short taxi or ride-hail hop for the final stretch to the venue.

    Parking: VEC provides on-site car and coach parking inside the Vinhomes Co Loa development in Dong Anh District, with separate exhibitor and visitor zones and shuttle drop-off points at the main hall entrances. Surface parking for cars typically runs VND 20,000–50,000 for the day, and motorbike parking is cheaper at roughly VND 5,000–10,000. Arrive before 09:00 on show days to secure a bay close to the entrance halls, and confirm exhibitor vehicle permits with Informa Markets during build-up and breakdown.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: September 2027 (show dates 21–23 September)

    Temperature: Daytime highs of 30–32C with overnight lows of 24–26C and high humidity make late September one of the warmer, stickier periods in Hanoi; the air-conditioned halls at VEC offer a strong contrast to outdoor conditions.

    Seasonality: September falls in Hanoi's wet season, bringing roughly 13–22 rain days and around 110–125 mm of rainfall for the month. Downpours are typically short and heavy, often in the afternoon, so plan indoor transfers and keep a compact umbrella or light rain jacket in your bag.

    Packing: Pack light breathable clothing, a compact umbrella or light rain jacket, and comfortable footwear for wet pavements. Show halls are air conditioned, so a light layer helps across long days on the floor.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 — Wednesday 22 September 2027

    Day two gives the fullest show experience: exhibitors are fully staffed after opening-day set-up, hosted-buyer and business-matchmaking programmes are running at capacity, and conference, chef-demonstration and technical workshop sessions peak. Opening day draws heavy registration queues and press activity, while the closing half-day sees early pack-down and thinner senior staffing on many stands — so plan core supplier meetings and negotiations for the middle day.

    12

    Confirm passport validity and Vietnam visa route — Check six months passport validity and decide between the 90-day e-visa (USD 25 single entry) and a visa exemption; apply via evisa.gov.vn if required.

    10

    Book flights to Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) — HAN is about 30 km north of central Hanoi; compare arrival times against the 21-23 September 2027 show dates and allow buffer for wet-season delays.

    9

    Reserve a hotel near VEC in Dong Anh District — Options include Marina Hotel Hanoi, Ping Hotel, Gloud Hotel and San Quinze Hanoi Hotel; book a flexible rate well ahead of show week.

    7

    Complete visitor registration and download your badge — Register through foodnhospitalityhanoi.com and confirm your trade visitor status and entry requirements before travel.

    6

    Plan the airport to hotel transfer — Bus 86 runs from Noi Bai to central Hanoi for 9,000 VND every 15-20 minutes from 05:30 to 22:00; metered taxis and ride-hail are also available.

    5

    Download the hall plan and exhibitor list — Shortlist suppliers across food, beverage, bakery equipment and hospitality technology so you can work the halls efficiently.

    4

    Request B2B meetings and RSVP to sessions — Contact target exhibitors for stand meetings and check the programme, including the Vietnam Barista Competition and industry news sessions.

    3

    Arrange local transport to VEC — Bus routes 43 and E10 serve VEC in Dong Anh District; budget a taxi or ride-hail for 30-45 minute transfers from central Hanoi.

    2

    Prepare documents and packing — Carry business cards, printed hotel and visa confirmations, plus an umbrella or light rain jacket for Hanoi's wet-season showers.

    1

    Arrive, collect your badge and confirm your Day 1 route — Allow extra time on 21 September 2027 for security screening and badge collection at VEC before the halls open.
