Towards a Distinctive Tourism Hub of the Northeast Region
Implementing the breakthrough strategy for sustainable tourism and service development during the 2021–2025 period, Cao Bang has paid attention to tourism planning, infrastructure investment, improving transportation connections between tourism areas and attractions, and upgrading tourism facilities.
During
the 2021–2025 period, the province is estimated to have welcomed 7.8 million
visitors, an increase of 53.2% compared with the previous period. Total tourism
revenue reached VND 5,500 billion, increasing by 337%, while tourism
contributed more than 5% to the province’s GRDP. Currently, Cao Bang has 325
tourism accommodation establishments with 4,250 rooms and 7,100 beds, with
approximately 7,200 workers involved in the tourism sector. Many homestay and
community tourism models have developed, creating livelihoods for local people
and spreading the image of a friendly destination.
These
achievements provide an important foundation for Cao Bang to realize its goals
by 2030: welcoming 4 million tourists annually, generating tourism revenue of
VND 6,900 billion, and contributing approximately 10% to the province’s GRDP.
The province aims to develop Ban Gioc Waterfall Tourism Area into a national
tourism destination, becoming a representative destination for green tourism,
smart tourism, and cross-border tourism.
Being
honoured by Booking.com as one of Viet Nam’s most welcoming destinations for
three consecutive years is more than just an award. It represents recognition
of Cao Bang’s efforts to build a civilized, safe, and high-quality tourism
environment while affirming the province’s position on its journey to becoming
a distinctive destination of the Northeast region and Viet Nam as a whole.
Amid the majestic
mountains and landscapes, where geological, historical, and cultural values
blend harmoniously with the sincerity of local people, Cao Bang is gradually
establishing its identity as “a friendly destination in the land of
heritage”—a place where every visitor leaves with beautiful memories
and a desire to return.
