Boasting favourable transport system, stunning landscapes, and an array of wellness resorts, Hoa Binh has been an ideal antidote for relieving stress.
Serena Kim Boi Resort has won visitors’ hearts thanks to its enchanting landscapes and top-notch services.

"We expect that out stay here will help us improve our physical wellbeing and relieve stress”, he said.

Hoa Binh province is also home to the Mai Chau tourist site with a multitude of resorts and community-based tourism villages that have drawn a throng of domestic and international tourists, including Avana Retreat Mai Chau, Mai Chau Ecolodge, Mai Chau Hideaway, Maida Lodge and Xoan Retreat.
Nguyen Thanh Binh from Yen Phong district, Bac Giang province said she felt full of energy while trying cycling and kayaking activities and tasting local cuisines.
According to Vice Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Bui Xuan Truong, eco-tourism is now a trend that has been prioritised for weekends or long holidays.
Most of the local lodging facilities have run out of rooms for the Reunification Day and International Labour Day holiday, he said, adding the number of visitors to the province during the five-day holiday is expected to increase from 1.2 to 1.5 folds from the same time last year.
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.
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.
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
