Following the National Tourism Year 2023: Binh Thuan - Green Convergence, is the National Tourism Year of Dien Bien 2024 associated with the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu victory, with the theme "Glory of Dien Bien Phu - Endless experience".
Dien Bien City is bustling these days, urgently preparing for the celebration, parade, and march to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu victory (May 7, 2024). Streets, restaurants, and hotels are brightly decorated, many activities are launched to clean the environment, beautify the urban area, and restore relics; airlines are increasing flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Dien Bien. Tourists from all over the world are excited to flock to Dien Bien to visit historical sites and attend the upcoming grand parade. There are a total of nearly 170 programs and events in response to the Dien Bien National Tourism Year 2024. Highlights include: the opening ceremony of the 2024 National Tourism Year and the Ban Flower Festival; the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu victory; the Northwest - Dien Bien tourism fair; National Food Festival 2024... The largest painting in Southeast Asia, Panorama, recreating the Dien Bien Phu campaign in the past, will be a highlight in the journey to this heroic land.
Dien Bien’s strength is historical tourism, associated with the Dien Bien Phu victory that “resounded throughout the five continents and shook the world”. There are many famous and attractive relics such as: Hill A1, De Castries bunker, Dien Bien Phu victory monument, Dien Bien Phu victory museum, Muong Phang campaign headquarters… attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists.
Dien Bien is the northernmost province of the country, with a natural area of over 9,562 km2, and a border of over 455 km adjacent to two neighboring countries, China and Laos. Dien Bien is also the only province in the Northwest region with an airport, which has just been upgraded to connect with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, so it has the advantage of attracting tourists. In addition to the main product of the Dien Bien Phu victory historical site, Dien Bien also has great potential for resort tourism, health care, with many hot mineral springs, homestays, eco-tourism, exploring nature and experiencing the identity of 19 ethnic groups such as Mong, Thai, Dao, Ha Nhi, Lao... Visitors to Dien Bien will experience wooden stilt houses, enjoy rice wine, special dishes of ethnic minorities, and see beautiful Thai girls in traditional costumes, with sparkling silver bracelets and necklaces, rhythmically and gracefully performing Thai dances and Xoe dances.
In 2023, Dien Bien will welcome one million tourists for the first time. Like Binh Thuan, Dien Bien hopes that the 2024 national tourism year, associated with the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory, will be a strong "push" to develop tourism into a spearhead economic sector, so that Dien Bien is not only a historical city, but also a tourist center of the Northwest.
Writer Vu Hanh wrote: In our lives, each of us should create an opportunity to visit Dien Bien, visit the old battlefield, as a trip back to the source, to see more clearly the blood and bones of many heroic soldiers, along with the spirit and determination of talented leaders, and the torrent of sweat of generations of laborers serving the battlefield, which contributed to turning this place into a holy land of perseverance.
