Developing distinctive tourism products

Community-based and rural tourism products associated with tea culture are a distinctive tourism product of Thai Nguyen province. In recent years, community-based and rural tourism activities linked to tea culture have been gradually invested in and developed. Several community-based and rural tourism destinations associated with tea culture have been established in the province, attracting a large number of visitors.

The Tan Cuong Tea Culture Space is a popular tourist attraction in Thai Nguyen .

Ms. Vu Thi Thu Huong, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said: Community tourism destinations that attract a large number of tourists to Thai Nguyen include the Tea Culture Space - Tan Cuong tea region; and the Thai Hai Ethnic Ecological Stilt House Village Conservation Area.

In addition, there are several other locations in the province that have started developing homestay services, which have been experienced by many tourists and are considered quite high-quality, such as the communes of La Bang, Quan Chu, Tan Cuong, Ba Be, Dong Phuc, Cho Moi, Nam Cuong, and Ngan Son…

Furthermore, cultural, spiritual, historical, and heritage tourism products associated with tea culture are also considered a distinctive strength of Thai Nguyen, reflecting the depth of historical and cultural traditions and the revolutionary spirit of the land known as the "Capital of the Thousand Winds - Viet Bac War Zone".

The highlight of this product line is the ATK Dinh Hoa and ATK Cho Don historical and ecological relic sites, the nerve center of the Vietnamese revolution during the resistance against the French, recognized as a special national relic site in 2012, with more than 40 historical sites, including typical sites such as Tin Keo Hill, Khuon Tat, Giang Pass…

The rich system of cultural and spiritual destinations, such as the 915th Company historical site, the 91st Team of Bac Thai, Duom Temple, Hang Pagoda, Phu Lien Pagoda, the Van Mountain - Vo Mountain complex, Thach Long Pagoda, Tham Temple, the Museum of Vietnamese Ethnic Cultures, along with the Ly Nam De relics, the site where the War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27th is announced, the Na Tu historical site (Cam Giang), the Khau Ma relic complex... have become "red addresses" for educating about patriotic traditions, attracting a large number of tourists, students, and young people to visit.

In addition, ecotourism and resort products associated with tea culture are also quite popular. This is considered one of the important development directions, based on the advantages of diverse natural landscapes, abundant rivers, lakes, forests, mountains, caves, and a mild climate year-round.

Many tourists are very interested in Thai Nguyen's tea products.

The Nui Coc Lake and Ba Be Lake tourist area is a central highlight in the development of various types of tourism, including sightseeing, relaxation, entertainment, and shopping, suitable for a wide range of visitors. Annually, this area welcomes over 1 million visitors, mainly from Hanoi and neighboring provinces such as Bac Ninh, Phu Tho, Lang Son, and Tuyen Quang…

In particular, with the advantage of being the economic, cultural, and educational center of the northern mountainous provinces, possessing large-scale industrial zones, and a relatively well-developed infrastructure, transportation, and technical facilities, the province is creating favorable conditions for the development of MICE tourism, sports, and adventurous cave exploration at several locations such as: Ba Be Lake tourist area, Nui Coc Lake, the eastern slopes of the Tam Dao mountain range, Thai Hai ecological stilt house village conservation area, Vo Nhai commune, Than Sa commune, etc.

In addition, two golf courses have been invested in and built to create diverse and high-quality tourism products; the province has also invested in integrated sports complexes in Dai Phuc commune to serve the organization of national sports events, aiming to attract tourists to Thai Nguyen.

With four distinctive tourism products becoming increasingly well-defined, Thai Nguyen is predicted to continue its breakthrough in tourism development in 2026 as the province aims to develop the "smokeless industry" in a sustainable and efficient manner.
