According to
the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, total earnings from
tourism services are predicted to surge 18.8 percent to 12.8 trillion VND
(550.9 million USD).
About 675,000 foreigners chose Binh Thuan for their holidays, with China and
the Republic of Korea the top tourist sources, accounting for 28 percent and 13
percent of total international arrivals to the locality, respectively.

As local tourism has been enjoying the busiest months of the year, the
department asked tourism service providers to improve quality and diversify
entertainment options.
In addition, local authorities should work to ensure social order and food
safety with a view to building Binh Thuan into a friendly and safe destination.

Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
