Though the province has beautiful beaches, mountains andlandscapes as well as historic and religious heritage sites, tourism potentialhas remained untapped, according to Bui Xuan Thap, Director of Ha Tinh province’sDepartment of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The number of tourists visiting the province, especiallyfrom the south, remains modest.

The province is offering incentive policies to attractinvestors in the commercial, services and tourism sectors to develop high-endhotels, commercial centres, retail markets and eco-tourism zones.

In recent years, the province has attracted major tourismprojects from the Muong Thanh Group, Vingroup and Hong Lam Joint Stock Company.

In the first nine months of the year, 10 projects in thetourism sector with total capital of 5 trillion VND (220.26 million USD) weregranted investment certificates.

The province’s many sights can be reached by railway,motorway or sea. Interesting destinations include cultural relics, beautifullandscapes and well-known sites such as Ke Go lake, Vu Quang National Park,Nguyen Du memorial site, Tran Phu relic site, Ha Huy Tap relic site, Dong Locrelic site, Deo Ngang- Hoanh Son gate, and Huong Tich Pagoda.

The province’s eco-tourism destinations include the Sơn Kimhot-mineral spring tourism site and Suoi Tien- Thien Tuong eco-tourism site.

The area has retained a rich treasure of cultural heritagesites, though many of the original sites were destroyed by wars and naturaldisasters.

Unique forms of folk arts and traditional craft villagesthat have existed for 500-600 years also exist in the province.

It is home to two special national relics, 77 nationalrelics and 425 provincial-level relics.
