has developed many community-based tourist sites in Ke village of Hien Luong
commune, Duc Phong and Mo Hem villages in Tien Phong commune, and Sung village
in Cao Son commune. These areas have unique cultural identities from local
ethnic minority groups with special traditions, architecture, costumes, music,
dance and festivals, which make them strong in tourism. In 2020, Da Bac
welcomed more than 90,000 visitors with revenue of 30 billion VND.
As part of its tourism
development strategy, since 2017, the People’s Committee of Da Bac has built a
plan to boost the sector to 2020 with a vision to 2030. Its objectives include
specifying orientations for tourism planning and development, turning Da Bac
into an attractive tourist destination of the province, contributing to
creating jobs, improving incomes for local residents, speeding up the economic
transition of the locality and creating more income sources for the State
budget.
With its potential and
efforts to complete traffic infrastructure to make travelling more easily and
promoting tourism investment, Da Bac has high hope to enjoy strong growth in
