Truong Van Nam, Vice Chairman of the district People's Committee, said that the district People's Committee directed relevant agencies to coordinate with the People's Committees of communes and townships, mass organizations and community tourism cooperatives to do well the work of promoting products and guiding and shuttling visitors, making a good impression on them.

Developing specific tourism products is one of the important solutions in the province's tourism development strategy, which receives great attention from the local authorities and relevant agencies.

The province has formed a number of tourist sites and attractions known to many tourists such as Tay Yen Tu spiritual and ecological tourist area (Son Dong district), Suoi Mo ecotourism site (Luc Nam district), Vinh Nghiem pagoda (Yen Dung district), Bo Da pagoda (Viet Yen district), and Xuong Giang temple (Bac Giang city). Community-based tourism sites in Khe Ro, Dong Cao (Son Dong district), Ven village (Yen The district) and orchards (Luc Ngan district) also attract many visitors.

Since the Covid-19 epidemic was well controlled, visitors to Bac Giang have tended to increase, with 900,000 in the first 6 months of 2022, including 11,000 foreigners. Room occupancy reached over 75%.

Exploiting resources for tourism development

Despite initial results, the tourism products of some localities have not been really attractive.

The provincial People's Committee’s Plan 298, dated June 28, 2021 on implementing Resolution No. 112, dated June 15, 2021 of the provincial Party Committee on tourism development in the 2021-2025 period, with orientations to 2030 identifies developing four main tourism products of the province, including cultural and spiritual tourism; ecotourism and leisure tourism; entertainment tourism associated with golf tourism; and community-based tourism.

The province will continue to direct focusing investment in developing Tay Yen Tu tourist areas and attractions in association with "The path to disseminate Buddhism of Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen sect founders"; building and developing "Tay Yen Tu Tourism" into a tourism brand of Bac Giang. It will also speed up the implementation of the Khe Hang Dau eco-tourism and resort project in Yen Dung, while calling for investment in building 5-star hotels and resorts in Bac Giang city, Viet Yen, Yen Dung and Luc Ngan districts...

According to Tran Minh Ha, Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, deputy head of the provincial Steering Committee for Tourism Development, Bac Giang province aims to welcome about 3 million tourists by 2025, earning 3 trillion VND from tourism services and creating jobs for 6,000 labourers.

The provincial People's Committee is focusing on such tasks and solutions as hiring reputable domestic and international consultants to make planning of key tourist areas with great potential; devising mechanisms and policies to attract investment in tourism development; increasing investment in tourism infrastructure development…

In June 2022, the provincial People's Committee approved the adjustment of the detailed planning for Tay Yen Tu spiritual and ecological tourist area in Son Dong. Accordingly, the site will combine the cultural, historical and ecological factors of the Tay Yen Tu region, creating a highlight for tourism in the province in particular and the region in general.

With the high determination of the Party Committee, authorities and relevant agencies together with the cooperation of businesses and people, Bac Giang is making efforts to build tourism products more attractive to tourists, thereby contributing to creating jobs for local workers and promoting the province’s socio-economic development.
