In mid-April 2025, the Northwestern provinces such as Hoa Binh, Son La, Lao Cai... are expecting a vibrant tourism season, creating a breakthrough for the upcoming summer peak.
Mr. Tuan Tran - owner of Mo Village resort (Da Bac, Hoa Binh) shared: "We have closed bookings since mid-April, mainly with groups from Hanoi and the Northern Delta provinces.
Tourists are very excited about experiences such as fishing, kayaking, and canoeing to explore Hoa Binh Lake. Therefore, we focus on promoting these activities to meet the needs of tourists for discovery and relaxation.
In Sa Pa (Lao Cai), the preparation atmosphere is equally bustling. Ms. Oanh Pham - owner of a travel agency in Sa Pa said that these days, the cable car route to Fansipan peak, resorts, cloud hunting cafes... have all increased human resources to welcome guests.

Talking to Lao Dong, Mr. Ngo Thanh Tung - Deputy Director of Tay Bac Media and Tourism Company commented that tourists today are not only looking for check-in points, but also have a high demand for resorts and exploring pristine nature. This trend is promoting the development of high-quality tourism products.
In addition, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day, places associated with the Dien Bien Phu victory such as A1 Hill, De Castries tunnel, Historical Victory Museum... are also destinations that attract tourists during long holidays.
Ms. Quach Thi Kieu - Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province said that this year's holiday is not only a tourism peak, but also an opportunity for the Northwestern localities to affirm their potential, creating momentum for the upcoming summer.
