As a mountainous border province with a long history of formation and development, Cao Bang is blessed by nature with many famous beautiful landscapes, along with rich cultural features imbued with national identity. Taking advantage of this abundant natural and human resources, Cao Bang has been making efforts step by step to affirm its position as a tourist center of the northern midland and mountainous region.
Thanks to the new policy allowing tourists to travel between Ban Gioc Waterfall Scenic Area (Vietnam) and Detian (China) with just a passport or travel document without a visa from September 2023, Cao Bang tourism is attracting a large number of tourists.
Tourists only need to use their passport or travel document without having to apply for a visa. For those who do not have these documents, they only need to provide personal information to the travel agency 1 day in advance to complete the necessary procedures to join the trip. This has created convenience and flexibility for those who want to explore new lands without encountering administrative problems.
Border tourism attracts domestic and foreign tourists, contributing to increasing tourism revenue, promoting the development of related service industries such as accommodation, food, transportation, shopping, etc. Border tourism creates many jobs for local people, contributing to reducing unemployment rate and increasing income for people.
The tourism industry in Cao Bang has had new highlights with the desire to change and develop the tourism industry as experiential tourism routes. Four new experiential tourism routes have been built, including "Journey to the origin", "Discovering Phja Oac", "Experience indigenous culture" and "A time of fire and flowers".
With the efforts of local authorities and people, border tourism promises to become a key economic sector of Cao Bang, contributing to improving the material and spiritual life of local people.
