“For the first time, the local people of Tam Chuc - Ba Sao, Kim Bang have been able to access and experience hot air balloon flights, especially the young people. We feel happy to have joined Tam Chuc Tourism Service Company to contribute to making the atmosphere of Ha Nam Culture - Tourism Week 2023 more meaningful” - Mr. Bui Thai Song, Director of Vinasing Group Joint Stock Company, the unit coordinating the organization of hot air balloon flights within the framework of Ha Nam Culture - Tourism Week 2023 at Tam Chuc National Tourist Area, said after the end of the flight activities here.
In recent days, Tam Chuc Tourist Area has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors, tourists and participants in the events of Ha Nam Culture - Tourism Week 2023. One of the activities that attracts the attention of tourists is the experience of flying hot air balloons. According to Mr. Bui Thai Song, this activity is actually an experiential sport that contributes to enriching tourism products in Tam Chuc to serve people and tourists during Ha Nam Culture - Tourism Week 2023.
To bring this activity to the tourist area at this time, Vinasing Group Joint Stock Company has worked specifically and agreed with Power Transmission Company 1 to implement measures to ensure absolute safety for the 220 kV power line running through the Tam Chuc National Tourist Area. At the same time, the hot air balloon flying activity, in addition to being licensed by the Department of Operations, General Staff - Ministry of National Defense, the Military Command of Ha Nam province has closely monitored and inspected. As required, all balloons must be anchored in place and not allowed to fly freely to ensure absolute safety for the 220 kV power line.
Mr. Bui Thai Song said: We arrived in Ha Nam on May 10, bringing 19 balloons. Of which, 9 balloons were for guests, and the remaining 10 were for decoration. The test flight was conducted on May 10 and 11. On May 12, we completed the steps related to security and order and carried out regular supervision and inspection by functional units, serving the people and domestic and foreign tourists coming to Tam Chuc. The unit sent 34 people, pilots and operators, to Tam Chuc to carry out the flight activities for 5 days. The balloon flight activities officially ended on the afternoon of May 16.
As one of the tourists participating in this activity, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Diep, 22 years old, from Hanoi excitedly said: “Hot air ballooning in Hanoi has been organized before, but I have never set foot on this balloon to fly high. Now that I have experienced it in Tam Chuc, the feeling is wonderful. Because, standing from above looking down, an immense space with beautiful architectural works makes me feel like I am truly living and blending into nature, the universe... The most wonderful thing is that on the days of this activity, the weather is so cool and pleasant.”
Mr. Le Van Tam, Ba Sao town, Kim Bang district shared: “This is the first time we have seen such a big ball with our own eyes. At first, when we heard that tickets were sold at 590,000 VND/trip/person, everyone was hesitant. However, here, with the help of the local government, most people participated in the experience flight without having to pay for tickets. This experience left a great impression on us.”
Talking with Mr. Bui Thai Song, Director of Vinasing Group Joint Stock Company, the expected ticket price for tourists participating in hot air balloon flights in Tam Chuc is 590,000 VND/person/trip. However, the number of tickets sold is not much, out of more than 1,000 people flying, most of them are experience flights. The company has not sold many tickets yet. Mr. Song said: We and Tam Chuc have coordinated with each other, bringing this activity into experience, serving the Ha Nam Culture - Tourism Week 2023 and the Vietnam - Japan cultural exchange. Within just 5 days of flying, an average of 250 people have experienced each day. Compared to the places where we organized previous flying activities such as Da Nang, Gia Lam - Hanoi, Tuan Chau - Quang Ninh ... the number of people experiencing hot air balloon flights in Tam Chuc is far greater. Because this is a large tourist area with many visitors.
The hot air balloon flight is considered a cultural and sports event that brings Ha Nam Culture - Tourism Week 2023 and the Vietnam - Japan cultural exchange program an impressive highlight for tourists, contributing to building and promoting Ha Nam tourism products to be more diverse and attractive.
