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.
Thanks to the development of social networks, Thung waterfall is gradually becoming known as a new destination, attracting tourists from inside and outside the province thanks to its wild beauty. This is a positive sign opening up opportunities for tourism development in the mountainous commune of Quyet Chien, Tan Lac district.
Da Bac district has pinpointed culture as a key driver of tourism development, a direction clearly outlined in the Resolution of the 25th district Party Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure.
Go Lao waterfall in Go Mu hamlet, Son Thuy commune, Mai Chau district is a hidden gem of the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh.
In the first 9 months of 2024, Hoa Binh province continues to implement the expanded tourism development cooperation program plan of 8 Northwest provinces with Ho Chi Minh City; deploying digital transformation content in tourism and developing a smart tourism province. Hoa Binh province received about 3.6 million views, an increase of 7.9% over the same period. In which, international visitors are about 380 visitors, domestic visitors are estimated at 3 million 220 visitors.
Spanning thousands of hectares and winding gracefully along mountain slopes, hillsides, and riverbanks, the terraced rice fields of Lac Son District present a stunning and captivating beauty. This region, renowned for its remarkable terraced landscapes, is also the centre of Hoa Binh Culture known for numerous archaeological sites.
The life of Mong people in Hang Kia and Pa Co communes of Mai Chau district has improved much thanks to tourism development.
