Speaking at the conference on promoting investment and tourism development in Ha Nam province held on the morning of May 30, Mr. Nguyen Van Chuc, Permanent Vice Chairman of Ha Nam Provincial People's Committee emphasized: Ha Nam identifies tourism as a key economic sector, with the ability to spread and create momentum to promote other sectors. With a convenient transportation system connecting to major tourist centers such as Huong Pagoda (Hanoi), Trang An - Bai Dinh (Ninh Binh), Pho Hien (Hung Yen), Ha Nam is emerging as an important transit point in the cross-Northern cultural and spiritual tourism axis.
Mr. Nguyen Van Chuc, Permanent Vice Chairman of Ha Nam Provincial People's Committee delivered the opening speech at the Conference.
In recent years, the province has made efforts to improve the investment environment, prioritizing attracting key tourism projects such as Tam Chuc tourist area, Ha Nam water park, Legend Valley golf course, walking streets, and high-class accommodation services. The province currently has more than 200 accommodation establishments, welcoming 4.7 million visitors in 2024 with revenue of nearly 3,700 billion VND. In the first 5 months of 2025 alone, Ha Nam recorded nearly 6 million visitors, with revenue of over 4,500 billion VND, affirming the growing attraction of this land.
This conference is an important opportunity for the province to promote its potential, promote investment, connect markets, and demonstrate its determination to turn tourism into a driving force for green growth in the locality. In particular, the fact that Ha Nam has just been honored by the World Travel Awards (WTA) as the “World’s Leading Cultural Destination” and “Asia’s Leading Emerging Destination” has created more leverage to reach further on the international tourism map.
Delegates attending the Conference.
At the conference, experts and managers shared many strategic proposals to promote the comprehensive and extensive development of Ha Nam tourism industry. Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism Phan Linh Chi pointed out 4 key orientations: developing modern tourism infrastructure associated with ecological conservation; improving the quality of human resources; strong regional linkages to form thematic tourism products; promoting digital promotion, targeting international markets and high-end tourism types such as MICE, resorts, and green tourism.
Meanwhile, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Dinh Thien, former Director of the Vietnam Economic Institute, highly appreciated the province's efforts to overcome difficulties and innovative thinking: "Ha Nam is no longer a small province standing outside the game, but is shaping itself as the core of the Northern spiritual cultural heritage axis. From Tam Chuc to Bai Dinh, Huong Son, Ba Vi is forming a special 'heritage city', capable of repositioning the region's position". Mr. Thien proposed that the province should develop a specific policy on tourism development, put businesses at the center, encourage selective investment, improve growth quality and emphasize the key role of corporations such as Sun Group, Xuan Truong... in joining forces with the State, creating infrastructure breakthroughs, upgrading products, thereby forming a globally competitive tourism value chain.

One of the highlights of the conference was the sharing from Mr. Tom Van Tuijl - representative of BRG Group, the unit that is implementing the Legend Valley resort complex in Ha Nam. With a classy golf course, integrated 5-star hotel and the upcoming Brave Park amusement park, BRG expects this place to become a new tourism icon, while creating jobs and promoting local socio-economic development. "We believe that this complex will bring a world-class experience and is a testament to the sustainable development orientation that Ha Nam is pursuing," Mr. Tom Van Tuijl affirmed.
Mr. Truong Quoc Huy, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ha Nam province delivered a concluding speech at the Conference.
However, according to Mr. Bui Van Manh, Director of Ninh Binh Department of Tourism, regional tourism still faces many challenges: unsynchronized infrastructure, lack of unique products, few high-end services, and weak human resources. He proposed building a common tourism brand for the entire Ha Nam - Nam Dinh - Ninh Binh region, promoting spatial connectivity planning, researching investment in an international airport in Ha Nam, encouraging the development of service ecosystems around major destinations such as Tam Chuc, creating four-season products and diversifying experiences.
Ha Nam tourism is facing a great opportunity to transform. The resonance between geographical location, tourism resources and strategic vision will be the key for the locality to reach new heights. However, that requires the synchronous participation of the entire system: the government resolutely removes bottlenecks in infrastructure and mechanisms, businesses make substantial and long-term investments, and people participate, benefit and preserve the cultural and natural identity.
The Ha Nam Tourism Investment Promotion Conference 2025 is not only a promotional event, but also an affirmation of the spirit of proactive integration, the desire for sustainable development and the commitment to making Ha Nam an attractive destination for Vietnamese tourism in the new era.
