(HBO) - The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province launched the second domestic tourism stimulus in 2020, during a ceremony held at BaKhan Vila Resort in Khan Ha village, Son Thuy commune (Mai Chau district).
Tourism activities in Hoa Binh have
remained sluggish since the start of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In
response to a stimulus initiated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism

first stimulus campaign which brought together nearly 200 participants and
helped to revitalise Hoa Binh’s tourism sector.
However, as COVID-19 outbreak re-emerged in
Da Nang central city, which is a major tourism hub of the country, in late
July, Hoa Binh’s tourism also bore the brunt.
joining the ministry’s freshly-launched
campaign to bolster domestic tourism for the second time after epidemic hotbeds
have been brought under control, the province rolls out similar one focusing on
safe and attractive tourism. A famtrip was arranged on October 13 within the
framework of the campaign to look into a resort tourism product on weekends on
Hoa Binh reservoir.
Addressing the launch ceremony, Vice
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan briefed participants
on the province’s potential, advantages and tourism development orientations in
the near future.
He urged departments, sectors and members
of the province’s tourism steering board, authorities of districts and city to
carry out the campaign in an extensive and effective manner.
The official also asked tourism firms to
show commitment on price stabilisation coupled with unchanged service quality,
bolster communications on promotions while ensuring safety against the spread
of COVID-19, food poisoning and explosions, among others.
The Vietnam Tourism Association and
domestic travel companies were requested to work together to boost travel
demand in Hoa Binh in particular and the whole country in general to reach set
targets./.

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.

In the early days of the Year of the Snake, visitors flocked to Yen Phu commune of Hoa Binh’s Lac Son district to experience the "Xuong Dong" (going to the field) festival, the largest celebration in the Muong Vang region, which is closely linked with the Mai Da Lang Vanh (the stone roof of Vanh village) archaeological site, which has been recognised as a special national relic site.

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.
