HBO – A delegation from the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism has paid a fact-finding tour of tourism routes and spots along the Da River in the four northwestern provinces of Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Son La and Hoa Binh. Also participating in the delegation were experts and representatives from travel agents and news outlets.
The delegation visits Mai Chau
Hideway Resort in Suoi Lon hamlet, Tan Mai commune, Mai Chau district.
The working delegation had a field trip to several destinations in
Da River area, including Ngam hamlet, Song Pe commune, Bac Yen district of Son
La province; Da Bia hamlet in Tien Phong commune of Hoa Binh’s Da Bac district,
Mai Chau Hideway Resort and Ba Khan valley in the province’s Mai Chau district,
Ke hamlet of Da Bac district’s Hien Luong commune, Chua Thac Bo temple
spiritual tourist site, Dua (coconut) isle, and Thung Nai commune.
Through the trip, the delegation assessed potential and the status
quo of tourism resources for the building of tourism products, tours and
tourism routes to bring into full play types of tourism in Hoa Binh lake area.
Da River, connecting Hoa Binh, Son La, Lai Chau and Dien Bien
provinces, is a beautiful river running around gigantic mountains and primeval
forests, creating a giant "watercolour painting” considered huge potential to
develop cultural and spiritual tourism and eco-tourism, thus opening up
opportunities to attract tourists and improve locals’ living conditions.
Building tourism sites along Da River is defined a key mission in tourism development
of these provinces./.
On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, visitors from near and far are eager to come to the mountainous district of Da Bac to have unique cultural experiences such as learning to wrap traditional cakes of ethnic minorities, practicing writing ancient Tay characters or immersing themselves in the Tay melodies.
Tan Lac has great potential for tourism development. In addition, the Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU, dated October 17, 2022, on building the highland communes in Tan Lac district into provincial-level tourism areas by 2030, with a vision to 2050. However, according to the assessment, implementing the goals in the spirit of Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU has had limited results.
Recognising that tourism and agriculture are local strengths, Mai Chau district is committed to building a green economy through an action program with specific pathways, achieving notable results in line with the resolution of the 26th Party Congress of the district.
With its majestic natural landscapes, diverse ethnic cultures, and numerous unique festivals, Hoa Binh province is an attractive destination that entices travellers from far and wide to explore and experience during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
Being held around the 30th of the 11th lunar month right after the harvest season ends, the traditional New Year of Mong ethnic group lasts until the last day of the 12th lunar month. On this occasion, the community tourism destinations of Pa Co and Hang Kia communes (Mai Chau) attract many visitors to experience and explore the unique customs of New Year.
Located just a 20-minute drive from Hoa Binh City, Ora Hill Farmstay & Glamping Hoa Binh is a captivating new destination nestled in Mo hamlet, Bình Thanh commune, Cao Phong district. Combining farming with leisure, this tranquil retreat is perfect for those seeking balance, joy, and an immersive experience in the expansive beauty of nature.
