(HBO) - Tourism is considered as one of the advantageous economic sector in Lac Thuy district, especially spiritual tourism. This is also considered as one of the key economic sectors that bring great revenue to the local budget. However, in order to exploit this advantage, the district has faced with some difficulties, especially in terms of infrastructure. Therefore, the priority of improving this issue is being paid attention by Lac Thuy district.
The Printing Factory Relic Area, Co Nghia
commune (Lac Thuy) attracts many tourists inside and outside the province to
visit.
According to
statistics, Lac Thuy district currently has 85 relics, in which six relics have
been classified as the national relics by the Ministry of Culture and
Information, 11 relics are at provincial level and 29 relics need to be
protected. This is the basis for Lac Thuy district to develop tourism, in which
spiritual tourism is one of the strengths of the locality.
Identifying that tourism and services are important economic
sectors in the economic structure of the district, every year, the district promotes propaganda in
many forms and on the mass media about the country and people of Lac Thuy district. Especially, the sites of
sightseeing, scenery and cultural history of Tien pagoda, Phu Lao commune, the historic revolutionary
siteof the first revolutionary site of the first revolutionary printing house in Co
Nghia commune with the
international and domestic visitors, all of which make the
highlight of tourism activities, attracting many visitors to visit.
However, tourism in the
district has not developed adequately with the potential as well as available advantage. The revenue as well as the
number of visitors visiting in the early months of 2018 decreased 10% over the same period in 2017. This is
partly due to the fact that local tourism activities are mainly spontaneous; the connections amongroutes and tourist destinations are not effective; the tourism promotion and investment is not much, the State management of
tourism has not really been thorough and has not created the typical tourism products of the locality.
In the first 9 months of 2024, Hoa Binh province continues to implement the expanded tourism development cooperation program plan of 8 Northwest provinces with Ho Chi Minh City; deploying digital transformation content in tourism and developing a smart tourism province. Hoa Binh province received about 3.6 million views, an increase of 7.9% over the same period. In which, international visitors are about 380 visitors, domestic visitors are estimated at 3 million 220 visitors.
Spanning thousands of hectares and winding gracefully along mountain slopes, hillsides, and riverbanks, the terraced rice fields of Lac Son District present a stunning and captivating beauty. This region, renowned for its remarkable terraced landscapes, is also the centre of Hoa Binh Culture known for numerous archaeological sites.
The life of Mong people in Hang Kia and Pa Co communes of Mai Chau district has improved much thanks to tourism development.
The man-made Hoa Binh Lake, with a water surface area of approximately 9,000 hectares and a capacity of 9.45 billion cubic meters, stretches over 200 kilometers from Hoa Binh to Son La provinces. With the goal of developing into a national tourism area, the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is expected to not only become the largest tourism centre in the province but also one of the 12 key tourist destinations in the northern midland and mountainous region of Vietnam.
Da Bia hamlet, now Duc Phong, in Tien Phong commune, Da Bac district, was once almost isolated from the outside as the only way to the hamlet was to get a boat ride across the Hoa Binh reservoir. However, as its tourism potential has been unleashed, the hamlet has established itself as one of the most attractive destinations on the tourism map. It has even received the ASEAN Community-Based Tourism Awards in 2019.
In the first 9 months of 2024, Mai Chau district, Hoa Binh province welcomed over 684 thousand visitors to visit and relax. In which, over 516 thousand domestic visitors and more than 168 thousand international visitors. Total revenue from tourism is estimated at over 821 billion VND.
