After three days of field surveys, the conference called for a shift in development methods from exploiting individual destinations to connecting values into a continuous journey.
The core objective is to create engaging experiences that extend visitor stays and increase spending, while ensuring that local communities are genuinely involved and benefit.
Opening the conference, the leader of the Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion emphasized the aspiration to transform the terraced rice field landscape into an experience, and the products into a commercial journey, thereby creating direct livelihoods for farmers and resources for heritage preservation.
To ensure the effective operation of the tourism route connecting Tu Le, Mu Cang Chai, Sa Pa , and Ban Lien, the conference focused on discussing five key issues. Delegates concentrated on analyzing the feasibility of the route; clearly defining the structure and unique features of the product; and designing tours that suit market tastes and seasonality.
In particular, the conference prioritized the issue of building linkage mechanisms and ensuring the principle of sustainable development. Accordingly, the development of tourism in Northwest Vietnam must be closely linked to the task of protecting the environment, cultural space, and traditional livelihoods of ethnic minority communities.
The event is not only a forum for assessing potential but also an important step in testing a model for organizing and developing integrated tourism products that has the potential to be replicated.
The highlight of the conference was the official announcement and handover of the tourism product development document " Exploring the route connecting cultural heritage of terraced rice fields" to the localities.
Through substantive exchanges and this comprehensive guide, Lao Cai and other provinces in the Northwest region hope to soon transform the product from a survey idea into a commercialized tour route, bringing sustainable economic value to the entire local supply chain.
