(HBO) - Tourism is the sector that is heavily affected by the Covid-19 epidemics. Along with the whole country, Hoa Binh tourism also shares the same situation. If in the first 6 months of 2019, the whole province welcomed 1.52 million turns of visitors, then in the first 6 months of 2020, there were only about 1.2 million turns of visitors with a turnover of over 750 billion VND, of which the international visitors were 150 thousand turns. After a period of social gap, tourism has gradually recovered.
To
stimulate the domestic tourism, while it is impossible to welcome international
visitors, the provincial Tourism Board has launched the stimulation of the
domestic tourism in response to the "Vietnamese people travel in Vietnam”
launched by by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The message the
province wants to send to the visitors is that "Hoa Binh is a safe, friendly
and attractive destination”. Many businesses have responded with specific jobs
such as discounting prices on services and fares and thaey have committed to
maintain the quality of the service...
Hoa
Binh Tourism joint Stock Company is one of the pioneering enterprises in
reducing the prices of the service from 20 - 50% with constant quality and
having combo service packages to attract tourists.
After
Covid-19 pandemic and from stimulating tourism, the number of tourists coming
to Hoa Binh province, a beautiful and rich land of cultural traditions of
Muong, Thai, Tay, Mong, Dao ethnic has increased again.
From
now to the end of 2020, Hoa Binh province will continue to promote and organize
many cultural and sports events associated with tourism in order to attract
domestic tourists to the province. The prominent events are the promotion
program introducing the culture and tourism Hoa Binh at Hanoi
pedestrian street, performing and promoting the culture and cuisine of Hoa
