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.
The People’s Committee of Tan Lac district recently hosted a cultural, sports and tourism festival of local highland communes and a ceremony to receive the Heritage Tree designation.
Hien Luong commune in Da Bac district is blessed with beautiful landscapes, thanks to its location besides a vast, picturesque reservoir with clear waters year-round. This natural advantage has allowed the local ethnic minorities to develop sustainable tourism, becoming a community tourism destination.
The 2024 Tour Guide Competition was held in the framework of the Hoa Binh Provincial Culture and Tourism Week, bringing together 13 contestants from seven districts and cities to celebrate the vital role of tour guides as cultural ambassadors.
Nature has generously endowed Hien Luong Commune (Da Bac district) with many beautiful landscapes, including the vast and poetic lake area, with clear blue water all year round. These conditions are favorable for the ethnic minority communities here to develop a sustainable economy and establish community tourism destinations.
