(HBO) – Hoa Binh, which hosted cycling events at the recent SEA Games 31, has spared no efforts to capitalise on such opportunities for promoting the local culture and tourism.
Hoa Binh Tourism JSC
prepares a gong troupe to welcome SEA Games 31 delegations to cultural
destination of the Muong ethnic community in Ngoi hamlet, Suoi Hoa commune, Tan
Lac district.
The two cycling events gathered 260 athletes and coaches
from eight countries – Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, and Vietnam. The Sakura hotel in Hoa Binh City
accommodated them during their stay for the competition.
Right from April, the provincial culture-sport-tourism
sector had stepped up its promotion campaign in response to the biennial
regional sports tournament.
Accordingly, video clips on Hoa Binh’s culture and landscape
were made, and thousands of leaflets in Vietnamese and English printed to hand
out to domestic and international contingents and reporters to SEA Games 31.
A trade fair featuring typical goods from and art concerts
inspired by local mountainous areas took place from May 13 – 17. The event
treated visitors to a festive atmosphere of folk games and traditional cuisine.
Free and charged tours to many local eco-tourism sites,
including the Hoa Binh lake, were also built to serve sport delegations during their
stay.
The picturesque scenery of Hoa Binh Lake has endowed its tourism site with a unique allure. In recent years, localities have been harnessing the potential of the lake area and domestic and international tourists have chosen the site for sightseeing and leisure journeys.
The Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is expected to become a national tourism site by 2030, focusing on developing synchronous and modern technical facilities, and high-quality and branded tourism products imbued with national cultural identities. The tourist site also aims to become the largest tourist centre in the province, and one of 12 key tourist areas in the Northern midland and mountainous region
On April 5th, in Hoa Binh city, the Tourism Association of Hoa Binh province and Tourism Association of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province jointly organized a conference to promote cooperation and tourism development. There was the attendance of Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
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.
