Tuyen Quang Provincial Tourism Year 2024 opens

Tuyen Quang Tourism Year 2024 is the beginning of a series of cultural, sports and tourism events and activities taking place in 2024 to introduce and promote the potential and advantages of tourism development and the value of the province's cultural heritage, resources, and tourism products.

The highlight of the programme is the third International Hot-air Balloon Festival, which takes place at Nguyen Tat Thanh Square with 22 hot-air balloons flown by pilots from Australia, China, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, the UK, and Vietnam.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Hoang Viet Phuong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasised that this is the third year that Tuyen Quang Province has organised the Tourism Year programme.

This is also the third time the International Hot Air Balloon Festival has been organised, with the participation of many countries around the world, creating a strong impact and spillover while promoting the increasing development of the province's tourism.

The Tourism Year also includes a fair with 100 booths displaying Tuyen Quang’s tourist products and products of local craft villages and a conference on promoting investment, trade, and tourism in the province's ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas.

New tourist products introducing My Lam Hot Mineral Spring, a women’s football tournament, and the National Badminton Club Championship 2024 were also launched on the occasion.

The Tourism Year programme aims to advertise Tuyen Quang Province’s tourism potential, advantages, and cultural values, thus attracting more international and domestic visitors and investors to the locality and contributing to developing tourism into a major economic sector of the province.

* On the same day, many provinces also organised Culture-Tourism Week, such as Cai Chien Culture-Tourism Week 2024 in Quang Ninh, the 2024 beach tourism season in Da Nang, and Culture-Tourism Week 2024 in Bac Kan.
