Many Potential and Advantage to Develop Tourism

With many policies on reform and expansion of international exchange of the Party and Government, in the past year, Bac Kan tourism has taken important step forwards. Provincial Party Committee X session clearly indicated “Promote tourism into the industry contributing actively to economic growth’. The province targets to attract over 430,000 tourists and annual growth of 25-28 percent. Exploiting effectively advantages of natural and ecological condition, historical and cultural traditions, promoting national resources and international support, the province will gradually make tourism a spear head economic sector. Bac Kan will become a noticeable tourism centre of North East region and one of the core in national tourism network.

 

While in 2009, the number of tourists coming to the province was 91,598 ones, gaining turnover of VND 45.7 billion, in 2010, these numbers increased to 150,000 tourists and VND 75 billion. Bac Kan has rather plentiful tourism potentials. For example: Eco-resort in Ba Ba lake, many spiritual cultural tourism spots in Cho Moi and Bac Kan town etc. Especially, famous places in Bac Kan are unique, scarce and rather untouched.
