The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially affected
the socio-economic situation of Vietnam over the last two years. On October 18,

Level No. 1, which means low risk. This is a favourable condition for the
province to recover socio-economic activities, especially tourism.
Themed "Visit Hoa Binh - safe, friendly and
attractive destination”, the conference aimed to advertise the province as a
destination with quality tourism products able to meet travel demand of
Vietnamese people and foreigners living in the country, helping to gradually
reopen to international visitors.
At the event, travel stimulus packages were
announced by local businesses, including the Dinh Nhuan Trading JSC, Da Bac
Community-based Tourism JSC, Hoa Binh Tourism JSC, Mai Chau Hideway Resort,
Heritage Park of Vietnamese Scientists, Serena Resort Kim Boi, and V-Resort Kim
Boi.
Addressing the conference, Standing Vice Chairman
of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan and Deputy General
Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism Pham Van Thuy asked
local authorities to work with relevant ministries, sectors, and localities to
ensure pandemic safety and increase popularising Hoa Binh’s tourism among
domestic travellers, especially those in Hanoi.
They requested travel companies to realise their
commitment to reducing prices but keeping quality, boost the advertisement of
promotional programmes, improve people and businesses’ awareness of the
pandemic prevention and control, ensure safety for tourists and workers, pay
attention to food safety, and carry out environmental protection measures.
On this occasion, the Hanoi UNESCO Travel Club

and Tourism of Hoa Binh province./.
Hoa Binh has witnessed an increasing number of tourists and good growth in tourism revenue, demonstrating a positive recovery trend in the "non-smoke industry”, thus creating momentum for further development of this sector.
Together with community-based tourism, Mai Chau district is focusing on developing eco-resort tourism around Hoa Binh lake in Son Thuy commune.
Boasting favourable transport system, stunning landscapes, and an array of wellness resorts, Hoa Binh has been an ideal antidote for relieving stress.
April 30th and May 1st with 5 days off is the ideal time for families to choose the relaxing destinations and find a peaceful place. Thanks to the advantage of convenient transportation, mountainous terrain with wild beauty, cool climate, the resorts and health care areas in Hoa Binh province attract tourists on this occasion.
Currently, the tourism products of Yen Thuy district are mainly the festival and spiritual tourism. In addition to ensuring a civilized lifestyle in the religious activities, the party committees and the local authorities at all levels always focus on preserving the value of historical, cultural relics and festivals associated with exploiting tourism strengths.
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.
