In which, the safety factor for tourists must be put first. At the same time, the tourist area also regularly coordinates with farmers, Van Lam Agricultural Cooperative, Ninh Hai commune to inspect and take care of Tam Coc fields.

The fields are currently entering the standing stage, preparing to form ears. Hopefully, during this holiday, this place will become a cultural tourist destination attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists. Grasping the increasing number of visitors, tourist areas and spots in the province have been renewing their products to bring diverse and rich experiences and services to visitors.

Joining in the joy of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day, the units also actively decorated the campus, hanging a large number of national flags to create beautiful and meaningful check-in spots and contribute to fostering pride and love for the homeland and country.

Typical examples include Hang Mua Tourist Area, Thung Nham Eco-tourism Area, Hoa Lu Ancient Town...

Experiential activities such as boating, tea drinking, and kayaking will continue to be added to serve the needs of visitors during the holiday.

Ensuring safety for visitors

According to businesses and travel agencies, the number of visitors to Ninh Binh during the April 30 and May 1 holidays will increase, but not too dramatically compared to the Lunar New Year or other holidays of the year.

Ms. Duong Thi Thanh, Chairwoman of the Provincial Tourism Association, said that Spring is the peak time to welcome visitors to Ninh Binh with many unique festivals. On the occasion of April 30 and May 1, the weather starts to get hot, tourists tend to move to coastal areas. However, due to the attractiveness of Ninh Binh tourism as well as the constant renewal of products, this holiday is still a favorite destination for many tourists, especially families and international visitors.

Representatives of some businesses also commented that many tourists will have a “waiting” mentality to experience the Ninh Binh Tourism Week and the Trang An-Ninh Binh FORESTIVAL Music Festival scheduled to be held at the end of May with the heat of many famous singers. Therefore, the number of visitors to Ninh Binh on the occasion of April 30 and May 1 will increase but not too different from other holidays of the year.

To prepare to welcome guests thoughtfully and safely, at Trang An Eco-tourism Area, the work of landscape beautification, upgrading the boat system and ensuring environmental sanitation is being given top priority. According to the representative of this unit, every day the environmental sanitation team of more than 40 people regularly divides into 3 shifts to clean up; trim trees; ensure the environment is always bright-green-clean-beautiful. In addition, more than 1,200 boatmen here have participated in retraining on knowledge of implementing civilized tourism culture, waterway traffic safety, fire prevention and fighting... ready to welcome visitors to visit and travel.

In addition, hotels, restaurants and accommodation establishments in the province have also proactively improved service quality, prepared human resources, materials and built attractive promotional programs to attract tourists. Many units coordinate to organize package tours, combining visits to many destinations in the province and neighboring areas, creating maximum convenience for tourists.

Ms. Nguyen Thu Trang, Director of Thanh Nga Restaurant, Tam Diep City said: “With the existing farm system, the restaurant has proactively sourced clean food to serve customers. During the upcoming holidays, the restaurant has fully prepared raw materials and fresh food as well as organized training and improved skills for the reception and kitchen staff to bring visitors unique dishes and the best service when coming here.”

Thus, in parallel with diversifying experiences to retain tourists, ensuring security and order, traffic safety, food hygiene and safety, and fire prevention and fighting are also given special attention by hotels, restaurants, businesses, and accommodation establishments during this holiday.

We believe that with careful preparation, Ninh Binh promises to be an ideal destination for the April 30-May 1 holiday this year, bringing visitors unforgettable experiences about the natural beauty, culture and people of Trang An-Ninh Binh.
