The local tourism industry encourages the creation of new and unique tourism products for young and enthusiastic tourists who love discovery, focusing on harnessing local strengths such as hot air balloon services at Ba Vi National Park, paragliding in Chuong My District's Bu Hill and adventure tourism.
In the coming time, the tourism industry will promote the development of adventure tours professionally and on a large scale. It is important to ensure the safety of visitors when they experience the adventure tour.
The department will conduct surveys in these areas to increase efficiency in developing new products, connect travel agencies with localities, as well as boost tourism development in the suburban area.
