With the goal of developing tourism in a sustainable way, Mai Chau has become a friendly and hospitable destination, so in the past years there hasn’t been the status of "slashing" paddle drag, scams and victims perched tourists during the peak time. Guests can be assured and comfortable when coming to Mai Chau for holidays. However, because the number of rooms is limited and fully booked on the occasion of April 30, May 1, so it is necessary for the visitors to book in advance. Based on the plan of 2019, there will be two more resorts in Na Ne village (Chieng Chau commune) and Ba Khan Commune to better meet the increasing demand for the tourists.
Specifically, the famous resorts of Mai Chau such as Mai Chau Ecolodge (Na Pha commune), Mai Chau Hideaway (Tan Mai commune) have been fully booked until May 1. By the time of the afternoon, April 24, there are only 2 small rooms with the prices from 2.1 million - 2.7 million a night in Mai Chau Villas (Mai Hich commune). The homestays in Lac, Pom Coong, Ban Van villages have been fully booked, too.
This year, the holidays of 30 April and 1 May will last for 5 days. Especially a lot of tourists want to look to the tourist areas with cool nature and swimming pools because of the intense heat during the last few days. Therefore, not only in Mai Chau, but also the hotels, the motels and the homestays in Kim Boi, Da Bac and Luong Son districts have also been fully booked.
Newly emerging in recent years, Da Bac tourism also more and more popular among the tourists because of the pristine natural scenery, the cultural identity, especially, the extremely dreaming context for visitors to "check-in". On April 30, the number of tourists expected to come to Da Bac is also quite great when the road of 433 has gradually completed. Currently there have 11 households providing homestay services in Da Bac.
The number of tourists booking on the occasion of April 30 has suddenly increased, but the price of the homestays has remained stable with about 120-150,000 VND a person for the community stilt houses, 500 - 600 thousand VND a night for a private room and 120,000 VND a meal for a person. The price of other services is unchanged.
Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
