In the first nine months of 2024, Da Bac district has intensified efforts in preserving and promoting the cultural values of ethnic groups in tandem with community-based tourism development. Many cultural tourism products have been built on the basis of preserving and maintaining the architecture of ethnic minority houses as well as traditional crafts such as making do (poonah) paper, brocade weaving, embroidery, and indigo dyeing.

Residents of Sung hamlet in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district, preserve traditional crafts associated with the building of community-based tourism products.

Many traditional festivals, such as the Thac Bo Temple Festival, have been included in the tourism strategy. The Cau Muong Festival in Muong Chieng commune and others such as the Muong ethnic group's rice-sowing festival, lap tinh (naming) ritual of the Dao ethnic people, and the new rice festival of the Tay ethnic group have been preserved.

The district has paid attention to organising activities to promote the value of both tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the Tay, Muong, and Dao ethnic groups, while building traditional cultural models of ethnic minorities under Project 6 of the National Target Programme on Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minority-Inhabited and Mountainous Areas for 2023 in Sung hamlet, Cao Son commune.

Community-based tourism has been stepped up in Ke hamlet, Hien Luong commune; Duc Phong and Doan Ket hamlets, Tien Phong commune; Sung hamlet in Cao Son commune; and Dua (Coconut) Island tourism site in Vay Nua commune. In the first months of this year, the district welcomed over 145,000 tourists, including nearly 4,600 foreign visitors, and earned 64 billion VND (about 2.58 million USD) from tourism.
