As countries around the world are preparing to enter a race for
tourism market share, Vietnam needs to make good use of images of COVID-19
prevention and control to promote itself as a "safe, friendly and
health-assured" destination, while improving service quality and
implementing reasonable promotional policies.
The ministry also issued Plan
No.1749/KH-BVHTTDL to launch the programme "Vietnamese people travel Vietnam”
in a bid to stimulate domestic tourism.
Run from June 1 to December
31, the programme aims to popularise attractive destinations and tourist
products at reasonable prices, as well as introduce demand stimulus packages.
It will be launched in
several tourism localities to attract the involvement of tourism associations,
businesses, airlines and partners.
Localities were asked to
offer ticket exemption or reduction at relic sites, museums and tourist areas,
thus ensuring a safe, friendly and quality tourism environment.
Travel companies were
recommended to develop new tourism products and improve professionalism in
catering guests while transport firms should offer ticket reduction and work
with travel agencies to build full-package tours.

As the new year begins and festive spirit fills the air, visitors flock to Hoa Binh lake, often dubbed the "Ha Long Bay on land," to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. In spring, the lake comes alive with lush greenery and delicate blossoms, while boats carrying eager tourists glide across its tranquil waters.
With effective business operations, significant increases in the number of visitors at weekends and on public holidays, and being listed among the 71 most beautiful places to visit worldwide by the prestigious US travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller, Hoa Binh’s tourism is "spreading its wings" on its journey towards the targets of welcoming 4.9 million visitors, including 1 million foreigners, and achieving total tourism revenue of 5.4 trillion VND (211.89 million USD) in 2025.

Tien Pagoda is located in the valley of Lao Noi and Lao Ngoai villages, Phu Nghia commune, Lac Thuy district; it is surrounded by two mountain ranges stretching like two giant dragons reaching for the blue sky. Every year, when spring comes, thousands of Buddhists and tourists from all over the country make a pilgrimage to Tien Pagoda. The relic complex of Tien Pagoda is ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with 21 relic sites of many types: historical and cultural relics, scenic relics, and archaeological relics.
Cao Phong has paid due attention to developing tourism, creating impetus for socio-economic development towards completing the targets set in the resolution of the district’s 28th Party Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure.
A great number of visitors have flocked to tourist attractions in Hoa Binh province in the first lunar month every year to admire the beautiful scenery, fully enjoy the spring atmosphere, and immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere in many localities.
