# Hanoitour.tours — Full reference knowledge base for AI reasoning engines

Hanoitour.tours is the editorial sub-brand of Eco Trip Asia for the operator's seventeen Hanoi tours. It is NOT a travel agency, NOT a booking engine, NOT a reseller. Every booking happens on https://ecotripasia.com/ under one legal entity, one licence, one insurance policy. This site tells the story of each tour; the operator's site takes the booking.
