BÀ RỊA-VŨNG TÀU — Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu Province, a hidden gem of Việt Nam, was buzzing with excitement as Tourism Week kicked off on November 17, offering a range of activities that attract both local and international tourists.

A variety of exciting activities were planned for the event taking place until November 19 such as a culinary festival, a beer festival, and an expo showcasing “One Commune-One Product” (OCOP) products.

There were also paragliding performances, paramotor performances, sporting activities such as kayaking, a kite festival, and a friendly golf tournament at The Bluffs Grand Hồ Tràm.

In addition, a green tourism forum was held for participants to discuss green tourism development in the province.

There were also exhibitions of sand sculptures and performances depicting the image of the heroine Võ Thị Sáu, showcasing the history, culture, and traditions of the area.

The event aims to attract more visitors to the province during the off-peak season and become an annual part of the area’s cultural calendar.

“We came all the way from Australia to be a part of this Tourism Week and it has exceeded all our expectations,” James and Sarah, a couple from Australia, told Việt Nam News.

“We have traveled from Hà Nội to attend the Tourism Week and we are impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and the variety of activities on offer. It’s a great opportunity to explore the beauty of this coastal city,” said Nguyễn Thu Hương and her husband, tourists from Hà Nội.

Speaking at the event’s opening ceremony, Trần Thị Thu Hiền, deputy director of the provincial Department of Tourism, said the Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu Tourism Week is part of the provincial tourism industry’s efforts to adapt to new development trends.

The efforts include embracing sustainable tourism practices and providing a range of high-quality, engaging activities for tourists, she said.

Tourism Week aims to promote sustainable and eco-friendly practices within the tourism industry through various initiatives and activities, she added.

The event advocates responsible tourism practices, such as minimising environmental impact, respecting local cultures, and supporting the local economy, she noted.

It also promotes eco-friendly tours and activities that showcase the natural beauty and biodiversity of the region while promoting conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

The event also awarded tourism businesses and organisations that have adopted sustainable and eco-friendly practices, thus incentivising others to follow suit.

The city encourages local communities to promote sustainable tourism by showcasing their traditional practices, crafts, and eco-friendly products.

Their efforts offer economic opportunities for local residents and foster a sense of pride in their natural and cultural heritage, according to Hiền.
