Efforts to overcome difficulties

The province is home to nearly 500 travel accommodation businesses and services including 25 hotels rated from 1 to 4 stars, 420 motels and 9 provincial tourism areas and destinations. After a long time frozen by Covid-19 pandemic, tourism sector has suffered enormous loss and damage especially accommodation and service businesses.

Although the tourism has not seen bustling activity as before, the larger number of visitors to the tourism sites, golf courses, hotels and restaurants is a good sign for tourism sector in the final months of 2021.

Currently, travel agents are focusing on promoting the safe destinations and ready to shake hands with partners in tour booking. They will release big promotion programmes to lure tourists when the Covid-19 pandemic is in good control in the provinces and cities.

In line with tourism stimulus, the Government’s support policies for those impacted by Covid-19 in tourism sector have been implemented. So far, the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism (DOCST) has collaborated to review and provide information of accommodation businesses for the Bac Giang Electricity Company to reduce electricity price. The Department made the list of more than 450 cases entitled to electricity price reduction for the 2nd time in 2021. Besides, DOCST continues making statistics of tourist guides affected by Covid-19 pandemic and guided them to prepare documents for receiving support.

According to Tran Minh Ha, DOCST Director, the Department will cooperate with Vietnam Tourism Association, Hanoi Travel Association and some provinces and cities to recover tourism activity with surveys and programmes to promote the tourist destinations, seminars and linkages for inter-locality tourism development. In addition, they will advise the provincial People’s Committee to launch the provincial tourism programme while implementing the Government’s support packages for tourism activity in the province.
