(HBO) - In order to ensure the implementation of the dual goals of COVID-19 prevention and control and socio-economic development, a number of tourist areas and attractions in Hoa Binh province are preparing to reopen, mainly serving local visitors.
Serena Resort Kim Boi (Kim Boi district) prepares conditions to ensure pandemic
prevention and health safety to serve tourists in the province.
After the pandemic situation showed positive
signs in provinces and cities across the country and some localities are
loosening social distancing measures, Serena Resort Kim Boi has launched a
welcome programme to call for tourists to come to the site for hot mineral
baths.
Luu Dinh Tien, executive director of the tourist
site said that the site has prepared all necessary conditions to welcome
visitors, and at the same time adhere to pandemic prevention and control
regulations. The tourist site only accepts adults with "vaccine passports” and
children under 12 years old. Along with local tourists, Serena Resort Kim Boi
also opens its door to those from outside the province who get full two shots
of vaccine and have the negative result of a rapid antigen test performed
within 72 hours.
Mai Chau Lodge resort in Mai Chau town (Mai
Chau) has just launched a special promotion programme called "Finding
peace amidst COVID-19" exclusively for families in Hoa Binh. The programme
is applied to families including two adults, two children under 12 years old
and visitors who are eligible to stay in accordance with provincial
regulations. Previously, the price of each luxury room was 1.7 million VND per
night for two adults and two children, while in the promotion programme, the
room price is reduced to 899,000 VND and one set of special food for the whole
family is offered as well.
Currently, as tourists outside the province are
still hesitant to travel, promoting tourism within the province is in
accordance with the trend of boosting tourism in association with ensuring
safety against COVID-19. According to Bui Xuan Truong, Deputy Director of the
provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in the context that the
pandemic is put under control in the province and is abating in localities
nationwide, tourist areas and attractions begin welcoming visitors, with focus
on those who are living and working in the province, and are fully vaccinated.
The reopening of tourism activities helps local tourists experience services
with many incentives right where they live.
The local tourism industry has directed units,
enterprises, organizations and individuals doing business in tourism to
strictly implement pandemic prevention and control measures, and ensure service
quality and interests for tourists./.
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.
