Actively implementing the Project on sustainable tourism development associated with poverty reduction and socio-economic development of Binh Lieu district, Quang Ninh province until 2030, in recent times, Binh Lieu district has focused on implementing solutions to promote sustainable tourism development, gradually turning tourism into a spearhead economic sector on the basis of effectively exploiting unique and specific resources of nature, culture and people.
Promoting the strengths of the fall-winter tourist season
As usual, around mid-October is the time when Binh Lieu enters its most beautiful season of the year. When autumn comes, the beautiful border area seems to put on a new, romantic and poetic coat. Patches of white reed flowers bloom all over the hills, along the border patrol route, the golden terraced fields in the harvest season blend in with the lofty green of the mountains and clouds here. All create a bright, open natural picture that captivates people's hearts.
This is also the time when cultural and tourism activities take place most vibrantly in the year. Accordingly, the opening program of the Cultural - Tourism Week, Golden Season Festival of Binh Lieu district in 2024 will take place at 8:00 p.m. on October 25 (at December 25 Square, Binh Lieu town).
Within the framework of the Golden Season Festival, there will be attractive activities taking place throughout October and November in Luc Hon commune, such as: Experiencing the "New Rice Celebration" of the Tay people; Sports competition of ethnic minorities in Quang Ninh province; Women's football tournament of ethnic groups in Quang Ninh province; organizing ethnic sports , folk games in terraced fields, village cultural houses, sports fields in the villages of Ngan Pat, Khe O, Cao Thang, Ban Cau, Luc Na; paragliding program "Flying over the Golden Season"; displaying and introducing OCOP products and local agricultural and forestry products; the fourth mountain climbing competition to conquer the dinosaur's back - landmark 1305 in Binh Lieu district; beautiful ethnic costume performance program...
The opening ceremony of the So Flower Festival will take place in December at the So forest in Dong Long village (Dong Tam commune). Along with that, there will be special cultural and sports activities, such as: So Flower Festival cycling race; volleyball championship for age groups in Binh Lieu district; exhibition of cassava clusters; cultural and artistic exchange activities, sports, folk games; experience of processing and producing cassava vermicelli...
Ms. To Thi Nga, Deputy Head of the Department of Culture - Information of Binh Lieu district, said: The activities of the Cultural - Tourism Week of Binh Lieu district are organized and maintained annually by the locality and are always renewed over the years, aiming to bring visitors the most complete experiences when coming to Binh Lieu. In addition to participating in festival activities, October and November are also the most beautiful autumn months in Binh Lieu for visitors to experience the "paradise" of reed grass, "dinosaur spine", the border system, sacred landmarks of the Fatherland; visit tourist attractions such as Luc Na communal house, Hoanh Mo border gate, Cao Son flower garden, Khe Van waterfall, Song Mooc waterfall, Cao Ba Lanh mountain, Cao Ly mountain... In particular, experiencing Binh Lieu's new tourism product this year is trekking through the forest, staying at a traditional clay homestay of the Dao people in Dong Van commune. Thereby, helping tourists have the opportunity to learn and explore more about the cultural beauty of the Tay, Dao, and San Chi ethnic communities in Binh Lieu.
Create competitiveness for destinations
With the goal of bringing tourism activities into depth and quality based on the three "pillars" of nature, culture and people, Binh Lieu is making efforts to focus on developing new, diverse, attractive and highly competitive tourism products that meet the needs of each type of customer. Accordingly, the district has built and divided tourism products into specific groups, including: Community tourism; eco-tourism; border tourism; agricultural tourism; cultural - historical tourism; resort and health care tourism; adventure tourism and other tourism products.
Mr. Dam Huy Long, Director of Go Today Travel and Events Company, shared: Most European and American tourists when coming to Vietnam often start from Hanoi, go to Ninh Binh or Ha Long and then go to the Northwest. Many tourists have a short time in Vietnam, so if they want to go to both Ha Long and the Northwest, they will only be able to "ride a horse to see the flowers" because the distance between the two provinces is far and it takes a long time to travel.
While the peak tourist season for international visitors is usually from October to April, by the time visitors arrive in Vietnam, the golden season in the Northwest may have ended. The rice harvest season in Binh Lieu is 1-2 months later. Therefore, this is a destination that can replace this experience in the Northwest for visitors who still want to see terraced fields. Not to mention, Binh Lieu also has a trekking route in the forest, an ethnic community that still retains its indigenous culture, and pristine nature... Therefore, if the resources are well exploited and typical tourism products are diversified, Binh Lieu may become the main choice for international visitors after coming to Ha Long as well as helping Quang Ninh extend the time visitors stay in the province.
To do that, Binh Lieu is promoting tourism promotion, calling for and attracting investment, implementing investment projects to exploit the potential in the area as well as projects in the Project on sustainable tourism development associated with poverty reduction and socio-economic development of Binh Lieu district, Quang Ninh province until 2030, including: Construction and renovation of Dong Van market, Cao Ly cloud hunting tourist area, Soong Co singing hill, high-class resort and hotel... Currently, Binh Lieu Community Tourism Company Limited is coordinating with local people to implement in Khe Tien village, Dong Van commune; Long Hai Import-Export Company JSC is investing in and implementing the project at Khe Van waterfall, Huc Dong commune, Hoa Binh Lieu Cooperative and Tourism Service Development Investment Joint Stock Company is implementing in Cao Son village, Hoanh Mo commune.
The district also prioritizes resources to build a cultural-tourism village in Ban Cau village, Luc Hon commune according to the approved project, gradually building it into a community tourism and sightseeing spot, followed by the cultural-tourism villages of Luc Ngu village (Huc Dong commune) and Song Mooc village (Dong Van commune). At the same time, focus on improving service quality and human resources for tourism...
We believe that with the right direction, the efforts of the locality, the people, and the cooperation of businesses, Binh Lieu tourism will continue to flourish and develop sustainably.
