Event in Hanoi? Security planning starts before the guest list.
Hanoi is an active destination for international corporate events and conferences, with National Convention Centre, Lotte Center Hanoi, Melia Hanoi, and the Ba Dinh embassy district providing the principal large-format infrastructure. FCDO advises normal precautions for Vietnam (2026); FCDO notes road traffic conditions as a specific risk, particularly motorbike density. US State Department Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions) for Vietnam as of 2026.
The security profile
Ministry of Public Security Vietnam Crime Statistics 2024 provides the evidential baseline for event security planning in Hanoi: moderate. Ministry of Public Security Vietnam 2024 records elevated motorbike bag-snatching in the Old Quarter and tourist-dense areas; road traffic incidents involving foreigners are a consistent risk. For corporate event planners, the operational risks that matter are transfer security between venues and hotels, access control at large-format or multi-building venues, and close protection for executives and keynote speakers.
Planning for Hanoi events
Private Security Decree 96/2016/ND-CP, Ministry of Public Security sets the licensing framework for all private security activity in Hanoi. All personnel we deploy hold current registration from Ministry of Public Security, Vietnam in the relevant category. Venue teams at major Hanoi facilities are generally experienced and cooperative; our planning process includes early contact with venue security management to align protocols before the event date.
