To prepare for this event, from the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, cultural and tourism villages in the province have upgraded their facilities and beautified their grounds to meet the needs of tourists for sightseeing and accommodation.
Community-based tourism is a sustainable direction for tourism in Dien Bien.
At this time, households engaged in ecotourism, as well as local people providing homestay services in Dien Bien Phu city and Dien Bien district, are completing all preparations to welcome guests.
Dien Bien province organized a booth showcasing unique products reflecting the life and cultural space of the highlands. Many booths, not only from Dien Bien province but also from other provinces and cities nationwide, participated in the Dien Bien National Tourism Year 2024 exhibition.
Along with organizing cultural spaces in mountainous areas and activities to display and introduce cultural and tourism products, Dien Bien province hopes to connect localities and cultural researchers, creating more opportunities for localities and businesses to cooperate in introducing cultural products and traditional handicrafts; giving wings to cultural and tourism products and products of each locality to reach greater heights and wider markets.
