via Vietnam Plus, 05 May 2023: Ninh Binh province in Vietnam is investing in preserving and promoting its historical and cultural heritage, including its 1,821 relic areas, to attract domestic and foreign tourists, with a focus on community-based tourism and the conservation of the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, which became Vietnam’s first centralised feudal state in 968.
The northern province of Ninh Binh, home to an array of historical sites, is striving to turn such an advantage into a tourism strength in the time to come.
Located in the southern reaches of the Red River Delta, Ninh Binh is known for its wondrous natural scenery, with a labyrinth of waterways, mountains, and plains as well as cross-cultural influences from the north to the south and from the mountains to the plains and coastal areas. It boasts 1,821 relic areas, including a world cultural and natural heritage site along 81 national relic ones.
According to the provincial Department of Culture and Sports, Ninh Binh has issued a series of guidelines and policies serving sustainable tourism growth, preserving and promoting the value of cultural heritage in association with the development of the sector.
