(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.

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...

reducing the prices of the service from 20 - 50% with constant quality and
having combo service packages to attract tourists.
