It is located in the northern part of central Vietnam,about 340 km (211 miles) south of Hanoi, facing Nghe An province to the north,Quang Binh province to the south, Laos to the west, and the East Sea to theeast.
Concerning transport, Ha Tinh has about 130 km (82miles) of National Road 1A stretching from Ben Thuy Bridge (Vinh City) to DeoNgang Pass which links Ha Tinh and Quang Binh. The province also has Road 8 thatruns from Hong Linh town to Laos and the Vietnam – Laos highway spanning fromVung Ang harbour (Ky Anh district) to Laos.
Ha Tinh was once a bustling trading area with five seaports – Hoi Thong, Cua Sot, Nhuong Ban, Hai Khau and Xich Lo – dating back tothe Ly and Tran dynasties.
Ha Tinh has six sea mouths – namely Cua Hoi, Cua CuongGian, Cua Sot, Cua Nhuong, Cua Khau, Cua Xich Lo.
It is endowed with beautiful beaches, such as XuanThanh, Chan Tien, Thach Hai, Thien Cam, Ky Ninh, Mui Dao, where the water iscalm and clear. Thien Cam beach is the most popular and many tourists named itas the best beach in the north. Thien Cam is also listed among the 46 areas tobe developed as national tourist destinations by 2020.
Ha Tinh also holds potential to develop tours ofhistorical, cultural and spiritual interests.
There are 73 national-level and 322 provincial-level relicsites in Ha Tinh, of which 30 percent are located across local coastalcommunes. The central province is home to myriad coastal intangible heritages,such as Sac Bua and Cheo Can singings, Chieu Trung temple and Chan Tien pagodafestivals.
To tap into these potentials, local authorities havebeen investing significantly in the development of transport infrastructure toconnect tourist destinations to the province’s central areas and neighbouringlocalities as well as to Laos and northeastern Thailand.
These projects include road systems linking Cam Xuyendistrict to Thien Cam, Nghi Xuan district to Xuan Thanh and Ha Tinh city to LocHa. Notably, the construction of a coastal road spanning across Xuan Hoi, ThachKhe and Vung Ang is underway.
The local tourism sector has secured cooperation dealswith Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces to expand its tourism networkdomestically. Meanwhile, sea routes have been established between Ha Tinh and theThai provinces of Sakon Nakhon and Nakhon Phanom as well as the Lao provincesof Khammouane, Bolikhamsai and Vientiane.
In terms of tourism accommodation, Ha Tinh has anetwork of 193 facilities with nearly 5,000 rooms.
Despite recent progress, overall tourism developmentin Ha Tinh still falls short of potential. The local tourism remains seasonal withservices not yet standardised.
Being aware of the importance of the sea-basedeconomy, Ha Tinh is making all-out efforts to upgrade the Thien Cam tourismsite into a national tourist destination, expanding urban space for thedevelopment of sea economic zones, and building tourism infrastructure. Ky Anhsea tourism site is also given a facelift to meet increasing demand from theVung Ang economic zone.
A series of new, quality, and sustainable tourismproducts are being developed. They include tours to fishing villages and tourscombining ecotourism and spiritual tourism.
Ha Tinh aims to boost its traditional tourist marketsin Hanoi and other northern provinces, while attracting more visitors from HoChi Minh City, and the central cities of Hue and Da Nang. ASEAN member statesand China are also considered a great source of holidaymakers.-VNA
