Thai Nguyen - A new gem on the resort tourism map

Thai Nguyen tourism industry is undergoing a strong transformation and gradually affirming its position as an attractive resort destination on the national tourism map. The clearest evidence for this development is that a series of "big guys" have chosen Thai Nguyen to implement large-scale projects, opening up the expectation of making tourism an important economic sector of the province.

The first 6-star resort in the North…

In mid-March, in the Nui Coc Lake area - a tourist symbol of Thai Nguyen province, Flamingo Group officially started the Flamingo Majestic Island Resort project with a scale of more than 61 hectares. The project includes 107 luxury resort villas, separate bungalows, and a system of personalized utilities according to the first international 6-star standard in the North; serving capacity from 50,000-70,000 tourists/year.

Flamingo is a leading group in the field of resort tourism in Vietnam, with a series of successful projects in Vinh Phuc , Thanh Hoa, Hai Phong... The fact that this enterprise chose Thai Nguyen, a midland area that is not really prominent in resort tourism, shows the great potential and increasing attractiveness of the province in the eyes of strategic investors.

Flamingo Majestic Island Resort project is being accelerated by Flamingo Group.

Assessing the potential for resort tourism development in Thai Nguyen, Mr. Tran Trong Binh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Flamingo Holdings Group, said: With outstanding potential, cool climate all year round and majestic natural scenery, Nui Coc Lake area in particular and the scenic spots in Thai Nguyen in general are ideal locations to develop high-end eco-tourism and resort products. With a methodical investment attraction strategy, I believe that in the near future, Thai Nguyen will become one of the resort paradises not only in the North but also internationally.

In addition to Flamingo Group, recently, Thai Nguyen has attracted a series of "big guys" to invest in high-end tourism and resort projects, such as: MDA Group (Korea) with the Glory Golf Course Project in Thanh Cong Commune (Pho Yen City), with a total investment of over 388 billion VND; Tan Thai Golf Joint Stock Company, with the Tan Thai Golf Course Sports Area Project (Dai Tu), with a total investment of over 500 billion VND; Thien Phuc Fine Arts Construction Company Limited, with the Da Thien Eco-Cultural Tourism Area Project (Dong Hy), with a total investment of over 784 billion VND...

Currently, Tan Thai Golf Joint Stock Company, the investor of Tan Thai Golf Course Sports Area Project (Dai Tu), is mobilizing human resources and machinery to focus on construction to put the Project into operation in August 2025.

The projects being implemented not only bring modern and synchronous tourism infrastructure but also open up many new entertainment and resort spaces, enhancing the experience for tourists. From high-class golf courses, eco-resorts to hotel complexes, lakeside restaurants, etc., Thai Nguyen is gradually changing its inherent tourism appearance, transforming from a "stopover" into a real destination.

Aiming to maintain 10-15 million visitors per year

In recent years, Thai Nguyen tourism has seen many improvements, gradually promoting its potential strengths, creating a good impression in the hearts of tourists. In 2024, Thai Nguyen province welcomed over 3.4 million visitors, with total revenue from tourism activities reaching nearly 3,100 billion VND.

In 2025, Thai Nguyen is aiming to welcome about 6 million visitors. The roadmap for the 2026-2030 period strives to maintain 10-15 million visitors to the province each year, including about 100-150 thousand visitors in the high-end segment.

To achieve that goal, Thai Nguyen has been implementing many synchronous solutions to stimulate tourism. In particular, promoting cooperation, association, promotion, advertising and building a unique brand and image for Thai Nguyen tourism is considered a breakthrough solution. Currently, the province is strengthening connection activities with provinces in the Red River Delta and the Northern midlands and mountainous areas, provinces in the association group to create regional tourism products; connecting tourist routes associated with the development of travel services.

The province's tourism industry has also coordinated with Vietnam Railways Corporation to resume the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen railway line in conjunction with promoting tea culture; coordinated with Vietnam Airlines Corporation to promote culture, tourism, land and people of Thai Nguyen on flights... At the same time, organized Famtrip and Presstrip delegations to survey and learn about the market; built and connected tours and routes to promote Thai Nguyen's typical tourism products to tourists inside and outside the province.

Thai Nguyen province has over 1,000 historical, cultural and scenic relics listed in the inventory. Of these, 1 relic is ranked as a special national relic with 13 relic sites; 52 relics are ranked as national relics and 221 relics are ranked as provincial relics; 19 national intangible cultural heritages.

It can be seen that, with strategic steps to attract investment, improve infrastructure quality and diversify tourism products, Thai Nguyen is becoming an attractive destination not only for tourists but also for strategic investors. With this growth momentum, Thai Nguyen tourism is facing a great opportunity to develop rapidly, becoming an important economic sector in the near future.
