The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has approved 169 consecutive events to be organized under the National Tourism Year 2024 throughout the year across 33 provinces and cities nationwide, including 28 events hosted by Dien Bien Province.
Nguyen Minh Phu, Director of the Dien Bien Provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said the organization of the National Tourism Year 2024 in Dien Bien on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory is a tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for the Fatherland. This is an opportunity for Dien Bien to invite domestic and foreign visitors to the glorious Dien Bien, which is additionally renowned for its picturesque natural landscapes, Phu said.
Dien Bien has improved transportation infrastructure to increase visitors’ comfort. It has inaugurated, upgraded and expanded Dien Bien Airport to accommodate large aircraft such as A321, while flight routes between Dien Bien and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were connected, and the number of flights on these routes has been increased.
Phu said Dien Bien is focusing on building and developing three main product lines, including historical and spiritual tours associated with the glorious Dien Bien Phu battlefield, along with the system of monuments and memorials at the Dien Bien Phu battlefield, Hoang Cong Chat Temple, and national cemeteries.

Alongside that, there are products that embrace the cultural identity of the 19 ethnic groups in the region. Phu stated that Dien Bien will have cultural spaces in the highland areas for people to experience, including the area of Pa Khoang Lake and A Pa Chai, the westernmost area of the country, where visitors can admire the majestic nature. Additionally, Dien Bien offers other community-based tourism products.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism evaluates Dien Bien as a historic land associated with the glorious victory of Dien Bien Phu. Historical sites and tourist attractions, including A1 Hill, De Castries Tunnel, Victory Monument of Dien Bien Phu, Dien Bien Phu Historical Victory Museum, the Dien Bien Phu Campaign Command Headquarters in Muong Phang, and the memorials of heroes and martyrs at the Dien Bien Phu battlefield, have been built and preserved to welcome visitors.
Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Trinh Thi Thuy, said the potential of Dien Bien tourism, the Northwestern region and Vietnam tourism in general will be promoted effectively, contributing to turning tourism into a spearhead economic sector. It will also serve as a catalyst for Dien Bien to rise and become a center for tourism development, contributing to comprehensive innovation and breakthroughs in socioeconomic development, and continuing to improve the material and spiritual life of the people.
In addition to being an attractive destination for domestic tourists, Dien Bien is expected to attract foreign visitors, especially European ones. |
