(HBO) – Hoa Binh, which hosted cycling events at the recent SEA Games 31, has spared no efforts to capitalise on such opportunities for promoting the local culture and tourism.
Hoa Binh Tourism JSC
prepares a gong troupe to welcome SEA Games 31 delegations to cultural
destination of the Muong ethnic community in Ngoi hamlet, Suoi Hoa commune, Tan
Lac district.
The two cycling events gathered 260 athletes and coaches
from eight countries – Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, and Vietnam. The Sakura hotel in Hoa Binh City
accommodated them during their stay for the competition.
Right from April, the provincial culture-sport-tourism
sector had stepped up its promotion campaign in response to the biennial
regional sports tournament.
Accordingly, video clips on Hoa Binh’s culture and landscape
were made, and thousands of leaflets in Vietnamese and English printed to hand
out to domestic and international contingents and reporters to SEA Games 31.
A trade fair featuring typical goods from and art concerts
inspired by local mountainous areas took place from May 13 – 17. The event
treated visitors to a festive atmosphere of folk games and traditional cuisine.
Free and charged tours to many local eco-tourism sites,
including the Hoa Binh lake, were also built to serve sport delegations during their
stay.
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.
Being held around the 30th of the 11th lunar month right after the harvest season ends, the traditional New Year of Mong ethnic group lasts until the last day of the 12th lunar month. On this occasion, the community tourism destinations of Pa Co and Hang Kia communes (Mai Chau) attract many visitors to experience and explore the unique customs of New Year.
