In mid-April, Hoa Binh will organise a tourism stimulus programme which is the opening of a series of tourism promotion activities planned for 2021. Within the programme’s framework, local travel firms will offer promotion tours targeting holidaymakers in weekends and weekdays. The programme is a chance for travel firms to introduce their products, destinations and promotion packages.

As scheduled, in May, Hoa Binh will join a tourism stimulation festival in Hanoi, while implementing plans to join tourism cooperation activities with eight expanded northwestern provinces and Ho Chi Minh City in 2021.

At the same time, the province will introduce its cultural identities and typical products at the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival Day 2021. Meanwhile, it will engage in a tourism survey programme and a tourism promotion conference of eight expanded northwestern provinces in Ho Chi Minh City.

Besides new tours, local firms will be supported to promote typical and OCOC products of Hoa Binh to customers in Ho Chi Minh City through wholesale and retail chains, supermarkets, and tourist sites.

Bui Xuan Truong, Vice Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said that the sector is striving to realise dual targets of making tourism a spearhead economic sector and preventing the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
