Thanh Hoa - Nghe An tourism link

The cooperation and linkage activities in tourism development between Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh provinces have increasingly achieved many important results. Notably, many new products, tours and routes have been put into operation, creating attractiveness and highlights for the linkage journey between localities.

Travel businesses from Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh provinces organized surveys and connections in Lao Cai province (October 2024).

Notable among these are tours to experience cultural heritage combined with beach resorts; source tourism combined with exploring eco-tourism, community tourism, adventure tourism; self-driving tours (caravan) along the East and West branches of Ho Chi Minh trail through Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces... With the linked itineraries currently being exploited by many travel agencies such as: Ho Dynasty Citadel (Thanh Hoa) - Kim Lien Relic Site (Nghe An) - Thien Cam Beach Tourism Area (Ha Tinh); Pu Luong Community Eco-tourism Area (Thanh Hoa) - Conquering Pu Xai Lai Leng Peak (Nghe An) - Hai Thuong Lan Ong Eco-tourism Area (Ha Tinh)...

With the viewpoint of "if you want to go far, go together", the three localities have participated in many conferences to promote and advertise tourism; at the same time, they have organized many joint activities such as: participating in a joint booth at a number of international tourism fairs VITM Hanoi and organizing conferences to promote and advertise on the sidelines; building connecting tours between localities; welcoming domestic and international famtrip delegations to survey the three provinces; exchanging information in State management work; supporting tourism propaganda and promotion...

Recently (October 8-10), Thanh Hoa City Tourism Association, Nghe An Province Tourism Association and Ha Tinh Province Tourism Association jointly organized a famtrip program in Lao Cai Province. Along with reviewing and evaluating the quality of products and services at destinations, the famtrip program is also an opportunity for local travel businesses to promote new products, and at the same time connect customers from Lao Cai Province in particular and the Northwestern provinces in general to participate in experiencing the Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh joint tours.

Speaking at the conference to promote tourism in Lao Cai - Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh, Ta Khac Uyen, Head of the Nghe An Provincial Tourism Association, said: “Promoting cooperation between localities has created many playgrounds and increased cooperation opportunities for tourism businesses between localities. Thereby, together we can build unique and quality tourism products and increase two-way exchange of visitors. In particular, many joint tour programs between Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh promise to bring tourists from the Northwest market new and different experiences, with the best preferential prices for customers and partners”.

It is known that tourism enterprises in Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh provinces have been focusing on researching and developing a number of new cultural experience tourism products, focusing on the themes and advantages of each locality. Along with that, research is being conducted to propose policies to attract domestic enterprises to participate in exploiting new tours and routes. Aiming to strengthen intra-regional connectivity, expand links with regions across the country, in order to attract diverse sources of visitors from key markets.

According to tourism experts, in recent years, tourism development linkage activities between the three localities of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Ha Tinh have received increasing attention, especially the coordination in promoting typical tourism products as well as new tourism products through specific activities. With the potential and advantages of natural tourism resources and exploited tours and routes, Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh is becoming a bridge between tourist regions in the country. Accordingly, local businesses need to pay more attention to exploiting the connection journey through the legendary Ho Chi Minh road more effectively, creating a unique attraction for the Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh connection.

In the process of association, although there are still many difficulties and limitations, initially businesses have "joined hands" to build complete tourism products, providing tourists with attractive tourism products and supporting localities to attract visitors from new tourism markets. This is expected to create a combined strength, aiming to improve service quality, bringing satisfaction to tourists when experiencing the association tours.

However, developing tourism in the new situation, with many favorable conditions and challenges, to link Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh to achieve common goals, in addition to promoting the development of common tourism products, local businesses need to focus on creating unique and competitive linked product chains that attract tourists. Along with that, actively organize tourism promotion activities, support parties participating in exploiting tourism products with specific policies... to create long-term tourism products. In particular, state management agencies and local tourism associations need to coordinate more closely, orienting businesses to build and develop unique tourism products, suitable to market trends and needs.
