The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism in collaboration with the local Tourism Association on July 9 organised a discussion on enhancing the popularisation of Hoa Binh tourism in the new period. The event was held in response to the nation’s domestic tourism stimulus programme and the Vietnam Tourism Day.
Tourism service providers discuss
measures to improve popularisation work.
The tourism sector has joined hands with competent departments, branches and
localities to propose the provincial tourism steering board measures to carry
out the Law on Tourism, a myriad of the Government and Ministry of Culture,
Sports and Tourism’s decrees and circulars, and several resolutions, decisions
and tourism development programmes of the province.
In the framework of the discussion, representatives from the State management
agencies, communications agencies, and tourism service providers discussed and
shared their opinions on the building of strategies to popularise local
tourism, as well as the development of standout offerings and transport
infrastructure, among others.
Currently, the province is enhancing investment for tourism infrastructure
development, while diversifying offerings to lure more visitors.
Hoa Binh is now home to more than 500 lodging facilities, including one
four-star and 10 three-star hotels. It is expecting to welcome 4.2 million
tourist arrivals and rake in more than 4.6 trillion VND (180.88 million USD).
As the new year begins and festive spirit fills the air, visitors flock to Hoa Binh lake, often dubbed the "Ha Long Bay on land," to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. In spring, the lake comes alive with lush greenery and delicate blossoms, while boats carrying eager tourists glide across its tranquil waters.
With effective business operations, significant increases in the number of visitors at weekends and on public holidays, and being listed among the 71 most beautiful places to visit worldwide by the prestigious US travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller, Hoa Binh’s tourism is "spreading its wings" on its journey towards the targets of welcoming 4.9 million visitors, including 1 million foreigners, and achieving total tourism revenue of 5.4 trillion VND (211.89 million USD) in 2025.
On February 21, the Provincial People's Committee held a conference to implement the tourism plan in 2025 and meet with tourism businesses operating in the province. The event was chaired by Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee and the Head of the Provincial Tourism Steering Committee.
Tien Pagoda is located in the valley of Lao Noi and Lao Ngoai villages, Phu Nghia commune, Lac Thuy district; it is surrounded by two mountain ranges stretching like two giant dragons reaching for the blue sky. Every year, when spring comes, thousands of Buddhists and tourists from all over the country make a pilgrimage to Tien Pagoda. The relic complex of Tien Pagoda is ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with 21 relic sites of many types: historical and cultural relics, scenic relics, and archaeological relics.
Cao Phong has paid due attention to developing tourism, creating impetus for socio-economic development towards completing the targets set in the resolution of the district’s 28th Party Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure.
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.
