According to a report
on Mai Chau district’s tourism, as of the end of 2018, the district had 139 tourist
accommodation establishments, including 10 hotels, 26 hostels and 103 community
hostels. The district has seven community-based tourism sites. Last year, it
served 332,000 tourists, earning 107.57 billion VND (4.64 million USD) in
revenue.

An overview of the workshop.
At the workshop, participants exchanged opinions on several difficulties the district is facing in developing community-based tourism. They also approved a set of regulations
on managing tourism activities in Mai Chau with four chapters and 27 articles.
A leader of Mai Chau
district’s People’s Committee asked for the early establishment of a tourism
management board in Chieng Chau and Na Phon communes and Mai Chau town, the
organisation of training courses for households doing homestay tourism, the
registration of operating electric cars, and standardization of electric car
driver licenses.
Attention should be
paid to building a roadmap for the use of electric cars, considering the
building of a welcome gate at Tong Dau T-junction and car parks, particularly
those for electric cars, and intensifying dissemination of the regulations on tourism
activities for tourism households.
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.
