With the goal of developing tourism in a sustainable way, Mai Chau has become a friendly and hospitable destination, so in the past years there hasn’t been the status of "slashing" paddle drag, scams and victims perched tourists during the peak time. Guests can be assured and comfortable when coming to Mai Chau for holidays. However, because the number of rooms is limited and fully booked on the occasion of April 30, May 1, so it is necessary for the visitors to book in advance. Based on the plan of 2019, there will be two more resorts in Na Ne village (Chieng Chau commune) and Ba Khan Commune to better meet the increasing demand for the tourists.
Specifically, the famous resorts of Mai Chau such as Mai Chau Ecolodge (Na Pha commune), Mai Chau Hideaway (Tan Mai commune) have been fully booked until May 1. By the time of the afternoon, April 24, there are only 2 small rooms with the prices from 2.1 million - 2.7 million a night in Mai Chau Villas (Mai Hich commune). The homestays in Lac, Pom Coong, Ban Van villages have been fully booked, too.
This year, the holidays of 30 April and 1 May will last for 5 days. Especially a lot of tourists want to look to the tourist areas with cool nature and swimming pools because of the intense heat during the last few days. Therefore, not only in Mai Chau, but also the hotels, the motels and the homestays in Kim Boi, Da Bac and Luong Son districts have also been fully booked.
Newly emerging in recent years, Da Bac tourism also more and more popular among the tourists because of the pristine natural scenery, the cultural identity, especially, the extremely dreaming context for visitors to "check-in". On April 30, the number of tourists expected to come to Da Bac is also quite great when the road of 433 has gradually completed. Currently there have 11 households providing homestay services in Da Bac.
The number of tourists booking on the occasion of April 30 has suddenly increased, but the price of the homestays has remained stable with about 120-150,000 VND a person for the community stilt houses, 500 - 600 thousand VND a night for a private room and 120,000 VND a meal for a person. The price of other services is unchanged.
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.
