On February 1st, at the Tay Ho creative cultural space - Trinh Cong Son Street (Tay Ho ward, Hanoi City), the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Gia Lai province organized "Gia Lai Day in Hanoi".
The event contributes to spreading the image of Gia Lai to the people of the Capital, introducing the unique cultural values of the highlands through music, colors and typical cultural and tourism products; and is also an activity towards the National Tourism Year - Gia Lai 2026.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Lich - Vice Chairwoman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee - said that Gia Lai, after the merger, opened up a vast and diverse tourism development space, converging many unique types of resources of the region and the whole country.
The province owns a rich natural tourism resource system, from basalt plateaus, forests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, typical agricultural - ecological ecosystems to midland, coastal and island spaces. This is the foundation for developing ecotourism, resort, experiential, sea - island, sports and event tourism.
In addition, the province has rich and valuable human tourism resources with a system of historical - revolutionary relics, tangible and intangible cultural heritage, traditional cultural values, festivals, craft villages, cuisine and community life that have been nurtured through many historical periods...
According to Ms. Thanh Lich, Gia Lai being selected to host National Tourism Year 2026 is a great honor, showing the recognition of the Central Government for the province's potential, advantages and efforts in tourism development.
The goal of welcoming 15 million visitors and total tourism revenue of about 35,000 billion VND will be a measure of the effectiveness of the process of transforming potential into value, resources into products, and advantages into driving forces for socio-economic development.
Gia Lai Day in Hanoi demonstrates the spirit of proactively connecting, promoting and advertising the local image; affirming a dynamic, friendly, rich in identity Gia Lai, ready to integrate and welcome domestic and international tourists towards the National Tourism Year 2026.
Through this event, I believe that the image, potential and typical tourism products of Gia Lai will be spread more strongly to the people of the Capital, domestic and international tourists; contributing to consolidating, expanding and deepening the cooperation and linkage relationship for tourism development between Gia Lai and Hanoi, localities, businesses and partners. Expecting a successful National Tourism Year 2026, with Gia Lai's own mark," Ms. Lich expressed.
