A delegation from Hoa Binh province’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism scoped out some new tourism routes and destinations in Da Bac district from November 24-26. The delegation was joined by experts and representatives from the Hanoi UNESCO Travel Club, the Vietnam Society of Travel Agents, the Hanoi Tourism Association, travel firms and other provinces.

The
delegation departs from Sung hamlet in Cao Son commune, and reaches Da Bia peak
after a 9km trek.
They visited some homestays at community-based
tourist sites in Sung hamlet, Cao Son commune, and Duc Phong hamlet in Tien
Phong commune, and experienced services like exploring Sung cave, climbing Da
Bia peak, kayaking, and boat rides on Hoa Binh Lake.
The associations and travel firms highly valued
Da Bac’s tourism potential and its efforts in developing standardised
community-based tourist sites, and gave advice to the locality to ensure
tourism sustainability.
The programme aims to promote tourism in ethnic
minority-inhabited and mountainous areas in Da Bac. Following the field trip,
the travel firms said they want to bring both domestic and foreign
holidaymakers to Da Bac and Hoa Binh in general.
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.
