Localities actively upgrade tourist destinations

Make tourist destinations green - clean - beautiful

According to a report by two travel platforms Expedia and Booking, in the coming years, tourists will have a big change in travel behavior. Specifically, tourists will gradually give up luxury trips, global tourist "hotspots" and focus on vacations in less known, quieter places.

Eco-tourism, healing, volunteering,... friendly to the environment, nature, and landscape are becoming a trend that promises to develop strongly in the near future. Currently, many provinces and cities in Vietnam have actively responded to become "golden addresses" for green tours.

As in Hue , with the goal of building Hue City into a green and smart tourist destination, recently, the Department of Tourism of Thua Thien Hue province has actively coordinated with related units to build many green tourist routes to attract a large number of tourists to visit and experience many attractive eco-tourism and community tourist destinations.

The Hue Monuments Conservation Center said that the Gia Long King Tomb area has arranged dozens of environmentally friendly vehicles such as bicycles, electric cars, and electric cars to serve tourists visiting the monument.

In particular, in recent years, people in Thua Thien Hue province have actively participated in environmental protection movements organized by the locality. For example, many women's groups in Hue city have organized good models of waste collection and classification and promoted the "green living" movement in the community. The exemplary actions of the people have contributed to building the image of the ancient capital Hue as a green - clean - beautiful, worthy of the title "ASEAN Clean Tourist City"...

Not only aiming for green tourism, currently, famous tourist destinations in Vietnam are constantly upgrading their facilities. Local tourism industries have selected and invested in preserving relics, cultural destinations, preserving natural landscapes and dismantling unreasonable constructions.

In Phu Quoc City (Kien Giang), one of the key tasks is currently to strictly manage construction order. Phu Quoc has organized a series of campaigns to handle violations of land, construction, and encroachment on road corridors.

This is a drastic move to improve urban order on key routes and areas, especially the route where a series of campaigns have been launched to dismantle works that spoil the urban beauty, along with community works that Phu Quoc is investing heavily in, to restore the landscape of the Pearl Island.

These are important steps for Phu Quoc to elevate its destination, affirming its brand as an ecological island, a green - clean - beautiful tourist island city, an international destination with a worthy appearance as the second most wonderful island in the world by Maldives, just honored by Travel Leisure.

Continue to effectively exploit tourism resources

In fact, Vietnam has many tourism resources, with a coastline of more than 3,000 kilometers and beautiful, majestic natural landscapes. In particular, Vietnam has more than 40,000 relics, about 8,000 festivals, hundreds of museums... Although our country has enough advantages in terms of nature, culture, history, and people, the tourism industry has not yet fully exploited these resources.

Recently, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism coordinated with the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province to organize a conference to deploy the investigation of tourism resources in 2024. Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ho An Phong and Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province Le Ngoc Khanh chaired the conference. Deputy Minister Ho An Phong emphasized that the investigation of tourism resources is an important task with a wide scope of implementation across the country.

Therefore, it is necessary to deploy comprehensively, systematically and in detail to each locality and each type of resource to create a database for long-term use. Organizing tourism resource surveys aims to form a tourism resource database system, serving the management, planning, development of tourism products and tourist areas and destinations nationwide.

Most recently, Ninh Binh province has exploited its culinary resources, promoting and consuming Vietnamese goods at tourist destinations. It is known that in addition to the majestic rocky landscape and many attractive spiritual destinations, the dishes in Ninh Binh are also very diverse and rich.

Specifically, by the end of August 2024, the whole province had 186 OCOP products recognized as meeting OCOP standards of 3 stars or higher, most of which are products in the food and beverage group, typically: braised meat with shrimp paste, pennywort powder, burnt rice, Tong Truong perch floss, chrysanthemum tea, Vu Gia tea, peach wine...

In addition, the province's food establishments number in the hundreds with many certificates of food hygiene and safety.

To promote culinary tours, at tourist destinations, Ninh Binh's special dishes have begun to be promoted and introduced strongly to visitors. For example, at Trang An Eco-tourism Area, there is a booth introducing and promoting Ninh Binh's OCOP certified products such as Thanh Nguyen braised meat with shrimp paste, Tong Truong perch floss, Cung Dinh crispy rice, Cuc Phuong yellow flower tea... attracting the attention of visitors when visiting here.
