In 2014, the district launched the
community-based tourism model and called for investment in leisure and
spiritual tourism at Thac Bo Temple. In 2015, the district Party Committee
issued a resolution on tourism development for 2015-2020 with a vision to 2030.
In June 2017, the People’s Committee of Da Bac
issued Decision No. 1908, approving the tourism development plan until 2020
with a vision to 2030. Thanks to the plan implementation, the local tourism
sector has enjoyed considerable improvements. Tours and tourism routes have begun to be
formed while many investors have been attracted to this industry.
Da Bac welcomed 60,500 tourist arrivals in 2017
and over 79,000 visitors in 2018, helping the district gain 14.2 billion VND
(613,200 USD) in tourism revenue.
Addressing the workshop, leaders of the Da Bac
People’s Committee highlighted the district’s orientations for tourism
development, stressing that it is ready to roll out "the red carpet” for
investors in tourism projects.
It hopes that investors will directly
meet the district’s authorities to discuss ways together to handle any problems
facing their projects. The Da Bac People’s Committee also called for good
coordination among local departments and agencies to help with sustainable
tourism development.
Hoa Binh province’s rich natural and cultural resources position it as a prime location for developing community-based tourism (CBT). In recent years, support from central and provincial policies, as well as assistance from non-governmental organisations, have encouraged local ethnic minority and mountainous communities to actively engage in the sector.
Van Son Commune, Tan Lạc district, Hoa Binh province also known as "Cloud Valley," boasts a cool climate, stunning natural landscapes, and majestic scenery. Visitors who have been to this place should make a stop at Chien Hamlet to experience a lot of fascinating things and feel the friendly, warmth of the Muong ethnic people.
Thanks to the effective exploitation of natural landscape and the cultural diversity of ethnic minorities, Hoa Binh province has become an attractive destination for tourists seeking experiences and exploration.
The Department of Cultural Heritage has just coordinated with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province to organize a training on implementing the model of the cultural heritage connected in the cultural tourism journey in Cao Phong and Lac Son districts.
The Sung village in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district, is endowed with pristine natural landscape, and Dao Tien ethnic minority community in the village preserves rich cultural heritage, including traditional housing, clothing, language, scripts, customs, and daily life practices. Since the community-based tourism model was introduced in the locality, these traditional cultural values have been further preserved and promoted.
