- Promoting the advantages of landscape, in recent years, all levels and sectors in Loc Binh district have been focusing on building and developing eco -tourism products, thereby contributing significantly to increasing experiences and attracting a large number of tourists to the area.
Loc Binh district has rich and diverse tourism potential, in which the outstanding potential is eco-tourism with 14 artificial lakes, typically: Ta Keo, Ban Lai, Na Cay, Ban Khieng waterfall... Loc Binh is also one of the 4 tourist routes of the UNESCO Global Geopark Region of the province. The district also has Mau Son mountain tourist site, which has been planned and invested in by the Provincial People's Committee to become a National Tourist Area. These are very favorable factors for the development of tourism in the district, especially eco-tourism.
To promote this potential advantage, all levels and sectors in Loc Binh district have implemented many important solutions. Ms. Pham Phuong Hue, Head of the Department of Culture, Science and Information (DOC) of Loc Binh district, said: In the past, the department has advised the district People's Committee to coordinate with specialized units to invite investors with many preferential mechanisms, organize promotional activities, focus on investing in infrastructure serving tourism trade in Mau Son national tourist area and Ban Khieng waterfall tourist site. We also pay special attention to linking tourism with the cultural identity of the Tay, Nung, Dao ethnic groups... living in the area to diversify the experience for tourists.
From 2021 to present, the district has been focusing on developing connecting traffic infrastructure such as expanding and upgrading roads to Mau Son tourist area, the route connecting Chi Ma - Mau Son - Lang Son border gate. At the same time, increasing investment calls from large enterprises inside and outside the province to attract, call for and create conditions for businesses to invest in tourism projects at potential locations such as: Ta Keo Lake Eco-tourism Area, Ban Lai Lake, Na Miu Stream, Long Dau Stream; Hang Cau Stream and Khuon Van Waterfall; Vi family memorial site... The district also creates favorable mechanisms to form resorts, eco-tourism areas, hotels with standards of 3 stars or higher. In particular, priority is given to green tourism projects that are environmentally friendly.
Tourism communication work has also been promoted by the district in many diverse forms. From 2021 to present, the district has published over 1,000 brochures with information on tourist attractions. In addition, the district has coordinated with media units inside and outside the province to develop and publish over 100 news, articles and programs introducing tourist attractions in the area. The district's Department of Culture, Science and Information has participated in displaying, introducing and selling OCOP products (One Commune One Product program), local specialties such as: Fresh forest lemons, Mau Son wine, fresh pho noodles, sweet potatoes... at major events organized by the province.
The district also focuses on promoting and participating in tourism promotion activities and events. In 2024, the district's professional unit coordinated with the Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion (CTIP) to survey and develop trekking tours (walking tourism experiences), develop presentations for tourism programs at Mau Son Tourist Area... At the end of May 2025, the District People's Committee coordinated with the Provincial Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion to conduct a survey to connect and attract investors and develop eco-tourism products in the area.
Thereby, the district has initially formed a number of eco-tourism products that attract many tourists such as: Ban Khieng waterfall, Na Cay lake, Phja Po trekking eco-tourism site... Ms. Pham Phuong Anh, a tourist from Ba Dinh district, Hanoi shared: I am really impressed by the beauty of Ban Khieng waterfall. The fresh air, especially the cool water at the foot of the waterfall makes all fatigue disappear, the specialties are also very tasty. I had a wonderful picnic and I will definitely come back here many more times.
Mr. Hoang Van Duong, owner of Na Cay Lake tourist site, said: Being promoted and encouraged by the district, I went to learn and decided to invest nearly 1 billion VND in tourism. Here, visitors can experience many attractive services such as boating, camping and enjoying cuisine. In the past, the site has attracted a lot of tourists, especially during the recent April 30 - May 1, 2025 holiday, we welcomed nearly 500 visitors.
In fact, ecotourism contributes significantly to attracting tourists to Loc Binh. In 2024, the number of tourists to Loc Binh will reach 285,000 (an increase of 50% compared to 2019), with tourism revenue estimated at 162.45 billion VND. In the first 5 months of 2025, the number of tourists to the district will reach 206,000, with revenue estimated at 123.6 billion VND.
With practical solutions being implemented, Loc Binh is not only awakening its potential but is gradually realizing its goal of becoming an attractive eco-tourism destination of the province. Thereby, not only attracting tourists but also promoting unique cultural and natural values, contributing to improving people's livelihoods and promoting sustainable tourism development.
