According to the plan, the fair will take place for about five
days on the occasion of the National Day (September 2) next year. It will have
200-250 booths to recreate the mountainous market activities of ethnic groups
in the province in particular and the northwestern region in general. At the
fair, cultural activities, arts, and folk games will be organised to promote
and introduce traditional cultural identities, potentials, tourism, agricultural
products, and people of Hoa Binh to domestic and foreign tourists.
Pham Anh Quy, Director of the provincial Investment, Trade and Tourism
Promotion Centre, said that the market fair is expected to be an attractive
tourism product.

To organise the market fair annually, the provincial Investment, Trade and
Tourism Promotion Centre continues to propose the provincial People's Committee
organise the fair with diverse activities with a focus on the preservation of
unique cultural identities and investment to restore and upgrade the fair.
The province will also have activities to preserve and diversify
traditional handicraft products and support local people with tourism
businesses.
Besides the market fair, in 2024, the province will organise trade and tourism
promotion activities such as the Hoa Binh provincial trade and tourism fair,
and a week-long event to introduce Hoa Binh’s OCOP and typical agricultural and
commodity products in Hanoi.
The province will continue to promote communication on its tourism potential
and advantages through diverse activities and forms. Hoa Binh will pay more
attention to connecting tours and tourist routes with localities like Ho Chi
Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh as well as take measures
to expand its domestic and international tourist market.
