Hoa Binh has witnessed an increasing number of tourists and good growth in tourism revenue, demonstrating a positive recovery trend in the "non-smoke industry”, thus creating momentum for further development of this sector.
According to Vice
Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Bui Xuan
Truong, Hoa Binh’s tourism sector has attracted the engagement of many sectors,
businesses, organisations, individuals and the community.
Cultural and tourism events taking place during the festival season in
Hoa Binh attract both domestic and international tourists, especially the Tien
Pagoda Festival in Lac Thuy district, the Khai Ha Festival of the Muong ethnic
people in Tan Lac district.
Local festivals contribute to preserving and promoting the traditional cultural
values of the locality, meeting the spiritual and cultural demands. National and regional sporting events held in Hoa Binh have also helped promote
culture and tourism, and attracting more travelers to the locality.
The Hoa Binh Marathon 2024, held for the first time in Hoa Binh city, saw the
participation of over 2,000 athletes from 44 provinces and cities nationwide,
and six countries. The race provided runners with an opportunity to enjoy
picturesque landscapes, take the panoramic view of Hoa Binh city, and run
through various tourist attractions in the locality.
Meanwhile, the Vietnam Ultra Marathon 2024 in Mai Chau district gathered 2,200
athletes from 38 countries worldwide. Mai Chau, with its unique tourist areas,
has become an ideal destination for athletes, their families and friends.
Hoa Binh served over 1.6 million holiday-makers in the first quarter of 2024,
earning 1.4 trillion VND (55.3 million USD) in revenue, up 22.7% and 27.3%
year-on-year, respectively.
Truong said apart from communications activities to promote tourism, the
locality has focused on strengthening cooperation to develop new tourism
products aligned with its strengths.
A Phong Linh (Yellow Tabebuia) flower garden in Thang village, Thach Yen commune, Cao Phong district is currently in full bloom, drawing a large number of visitors.
Community-based tourism has been thriving in Pa Co commune, Mai Chau district thanks to advantages in natural landscape and cultural identity.
Doan Ket commune of Yen Thuy district has recently held a ceremony to receive a certificate recognising Ta communal house as a provincial-level historical and cultural relic site.
In Lac Thuy district, the fertile alluvial land along the Boi River is now home to lush green mulberry gardens, marking the emergence of a new agricultural industry - mulberry cultivation and silkworm farming.
Officially opening in February, Ngoi Hoa Ecotourism Site (PriorBay Resort) in Suoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district, has quickly become a sought-after destination. It offers visitors a chance to indulge in distinctive and enticing experiences.
Gia Trang Heian Homestay, a unique cultural oasis in the heart of Hoa Binh city, has become a compelling attraction for tourists seeking ethnic cultural experiences within an urban setting. Bui Thi Hien, a local in Kim Boi district with aspiration for ethnic culture and community-based tourism development, created the homestay that seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary features.
