The association’s membership to date has reached nearly 70. Over the years, with the support of the provincial steering board on tourism and collaboration between departments and sectors, it has carried out various activities, particularly arranging refresher courses to improve quality of tourism workers, creating new tourism products and enhancing market development.

It has also called on members and local firms to bolster investment in the fields that the province holds potential and advantage, in a bid to build and promote local tourism products, contributing to the province’s development in the sector.

In the previous year, Hoa Binh welcomed over 3.11 million visitors, including 406,384 foreigners. Tourism revenue hit about 2.17 billion VND (63,690 USD), 9.2 percent higher than the year’s plan.
