This is the first time the fair has been organized on a regional scale and hosted by Ha Giang province. Over 30 booths will be participating, showcasing tourism products, promoting tourism, handcrafted wooden items, traditional costumes, artifacts representing the unique cultural values of various localities, and introducing Northwest Vietnamese cuisine. The fair will also feature many diverse activities such as: a cultural and artistic festival of community-based tourism villages from 8 Northwest provinces; a tourism photo exhibition of 8 Northwest provinces displaying stunning natural landscapes of the Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark in Ha Giang province and beautiful scenery of the 8 Northwest provinces…
Besides tourism promotion activities, the Northwest Tourism Fair 2014 also organized a symposium on the production of tourism products in Ha Giang province; promoting and bringing tourists to Ha Giang and the Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark.
The fair is an opportunity to strengthen cooperation in tourism development among the provinces in the expanded Northwest region of eight provinces. The Organizing Committee expects that the fair will bring about a transformation in the promotion and marketing of destinations, the introduction of tourism products, especially the strengths of community-based tourism associated with promoting the unique tourism image of the Northwest region.
Simultaneously, the program linking the eight expanded Northwestern provinces will be promoted, with joint efforts focused on initiatives to build the "Northwestern Tourism Brand," the "Northwestern Arc" tourism route, the "Tourism to the Roots" program, and the World Heritage tourism program "Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark - Ha Giang"... contributing to the socio-economic development of each locality. This will form a sustainable tourism development cooperation bloc, contributing to the preservation and promotion of cultural values associated with tourism development in the Northwest, creating conditions for the Northwest to officially become one of the eight unique tourist destinations of Vietnam.
