The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism in collaboration with the local Tourism Association on July 9 organised a discussion on enhancing the popularisation of Hoa Binh tourism in the new period. The event was held in response to the nation’s domestic tourism stimulus programme and the Vietnam Tourism Day.
Tourism service providers discuss
measures to improve popularisation work.
The tourism sector has joined hands with competent departments, branches and
localities to propose the provincial tourism steering board measures to carry
out the Law on Tourism, a myriad of the Government and Ministry of Culture,
Sports and Tourism’s decrees and circulars, and several resolutions, decisions
and tourism development programmes of the province.
In the framework of the discussion, representatives from the State management
agencies, communications agencies, and tourism service providers discussed and
shared their opinions on the building of strategies to popularise local
tourism, as well as the development of standout offerings and transport
infrastructure, among others.
Currently, the province is enhancing investment for tourism infrastructure
development, while diversifying offerings to lure more visitors.
Hoa Binh is now home to more than 500 lodging facilities, including one
four-star and 10 three-star hotels. It is expecting to welcome 4.2 million
tourist arrivals and rake in more than 4.6 trillion VND (180.88 million USD).
In recent years, based on the community tourism models of the Dao people in Cao Son commune and the Muong people in Hien Luong and Tien Phong communes, the authority of Da Bac district has built a model of this kind in the Tay ethnic community in Thu Lu hamlet, Giap Dat commune.
The People's Committee of Hoa Binh province on August 7 held a meeting to review the implementation of the project "Building upland communes in Tan Lac district into provincial-level tourist areas by 2030, with a vision to 2050" in the first months of 2024, and deploy tasks for the coming time. Nguyen Van Toan, Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, chaired the event.
The provincial People's Committee has just issued Decision No. 1419/QD-UBND on July 30th, 2024, regarding the recognition of Mo Hamlet Community Tourism Site.
Blessed by nature with beautiful landscapes with hundreds of caves, waterfalls, grass hills and a cultural space imbued with ethnic identity, some destinations in Cao Phong district are likened to "fairyland" or "tourist paradise". Clearly identifying its potential and advantages, over the recent years, the district has continuously invested in embellishing, preserving and increasing the value of its landscapes and relic sites to develop tourism.
After three years of implementing Resolution No. 05-NQ/HU, dated June 7, 2021, issued by the Lac Thuy Party Committee’s standing board on local tourism development for 2021-2025, the district has focused on forming distinctive cultural products linked to tourism to attract visitors. Its efforts have led to increasing tourist arrivals and tourism revenue, contributing to economic restructuring, job creation, state budget revenue collection, and higher living standards.
According to the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, tourism business activities in the province have shown strong signs of recovery, and the province has achieved good growth in the first six months of this year. The total number of tourists visiting Hoa Binh is estimated at 2.6 million, increasing nearly 10% compared to that of the same period, achieving 61.9% of the annual plan.
