However, to achieve this goal, there needs to be active participation from the Central to local levels, all levels and sectors in formulating policies, planning, connecting and innovating products...

In Ninh Binh, in recent times, the province has regularly paid attention to and supported the effective development of the tourism industry. Most recently, on July 12, 2023, the Ninh Binh Provincial People's Council issued Resolution No. 105/2023/NQ-HDND on promulgating a number of policies to support tourism development in the province for the period 2023-2030. This is the first policy to fully support tourism development in the province, making Ninh Binh one of the few provinces that have issued this policy early.

Regarding the development of night tourism, Ninh Binh has soon had a strategy and put into operation effective products. In which, Hoa Lu ancient town is a night destination loved by many domestic and international tourists. Thereby contributing to diversifying tourism products, increasing the length of stay of tourists and tourism revenue.

In the coming time, Ninh Binh Tourism industry will continue to closely follow documents and policies, improve service quality, research and introduce new tourism products and promote promotional activities on digital platforms.

In addition, in order for Ninh Binh tourism in particular and the country's tourism in general to continue to develop rapidly, sustainably and effectively, it is necessary to further promote inter-provincial and inter-regional connectivity; relevant ministries and branches should study policies to adjust electricity prices; digital transformation needs to be more consistent and effective, etc.

With 11 comments from localities, these are important suggestions for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to continue to advise, research and edit to suit the development context, helping Vietnam tourism continue to recover, more effectively and sustainably.
