During the first days of the April 30 and May 1 holidays, many tourist groups flocked to Ninh Binh. The atmosphere at all tourist destinations was joyful and bustling, with many restaurants and accommodation facilities packed with guests.
According to the reporter, in the first two days of this year's holiday, the weather was quite favorable, creating favorable conditions for tourists to visit and experience. At famous tourist destinations such as Trang An Eco-tourism Area, Tam Coc Tourist Area, Thung Nham, Hoa Lu Ancient Town... there were many tourists visiting.
At Trang An Eco-tourism Area, although it was only around 6am, there were already many groups of tourists lining up to buy tickets to get on the boat. Although there were many tourists, according to observations, environmental sanitation and security and order were quite well maintained.
Authorities regularly patrol and control to regulate and ensure smooth traffic. At the wharf area, tourists line up neatly, without jostling or pushing.
Ms. Tran Thu Ha, a tourist from Hai Phong, said: "We bought tickets online on the tourist site's website in advance, so we didn't have to wait long today. My family wanted to go early to enjoy the cool, fresh air here and also to avoid the crowds and waiting. Visiting Trang An in the morning is a wonderful experience that everyone should try."
These days, the main road leading to Cuc Phuong National Park (Nho Quan district) is bustling with convoys of vehicles moving into the main gate of the garden. At this time, Cuc Phuong is at its most beautiful and charming time of the year when the "forest is in full bloom". In addition to activities and experiences, visitors can also admire countless butterflies and fireflies flying across the sky here.
According to Mr. Do Hong Hai, Deputy Director of the Center for Environmental Education and Services, Cuc Phuong National Park welcomed about 5,000 visitors in the first two days of the April 30 and May 1 holidays. The most popular destinations for visitors are the rare wildlife conservation area (primates, turtles, pangolins, peacocks, deer, etc.), Cuc Phuong Museum, and the newly opened children's art experience and creation area.
To ensure a thoughtful and safe reception of guests, 1 month before the holiday, the Park's leaders directed units, especially the Environmental Education and Service Center, to review all forces, accommodation facilities, and environmental sanitation; at the same time, coordinate with units and functional forces to mobilize regular staff to be on duty at the reception and traffic control departments, and guide visitors.
It is estimated that there will be about 15,000 visitors to Cuc Phuong National Park during the 5-day holiday, with the peak being on April 29 and 30. Room occupancy here has now reached 100%.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung, a tourist from Hanoi, shared: Even before the holiday, I learned about the diverse and attractive activities of Ninh Binh on the mass media. Therefore, my family spent 2 days visiting and exploring some tourist attractions including Tam Coc, Thung Nham and Hoa Lu Ancient Town. Although the number of visitors was quite large, the reception was attentive, safe, and the local people were also very friendly.
According to Mr. Bui Van Manh, Director of the Department of Tourism: The April 30 and May 1 holidays this year last for 5 days from April 27 to May 1. This is the occasion that coincides with Ninh Binh celebrating the 10th anniversary of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex being recognized as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage, so the number of visitors will increase.
In order to do a good job of welcoming guests and continue to promote the image of the friendly, gentle and hospitable people of the ancient capital, the Department of Tourism has directed tourist areas and spots to ensure good security and order, environmental sanitation, invest in renewing tourism products; coordinate with the Provincial Tourism Association to propagate to accommodation establishments and restaurants to prepare abundant sources of raw materials, ensure food safety and hygiene, strictly implement price regulations; at the same time, arrange staff on duty to be ready to support and receive feedback from tourists.
On this occasion, the tourism industry expects to welcome 550,000 visitors, an increase of 60.80% over the same period in 2023 (342,000 visitors), including 45,000 international visitors, an increase of 85% over the same period in 2023 (24,300 visitors). Revenue is estimated at VND 520 billion, an increase of 48.57% over 2023.
During the first days of the long holiday, the number of tourists coming to Ninh Binh was quite large, but the reception of visitors was safe and thoughtful, leaving many good impressions in the hearts of tourists. Thereby contributing to stimulating tourism in Ninh Binh during the low season, while continuing to spread the image of the land and people of the ancient capital on the domestic and international tourism map.
