Implementing the Resolution of the 28th District Party Congress, term 2020-2025, Binh Lieu tourism has gradually recovered and flourished. The results achieved in the past half term have created a premise for Binh Lieu to realize the goal of becoming a center for community tourism, eco-tourism - experience, agricultural tourism, cultural tourism, border tourism of Quang Ninh.
The first half of the 2020-2025 term is a challenging period for Quang Ninh tourism, as well as new destinations such as the mountainous border district of Binh Lieu. During 2020-2021, Binh Lieu tourism was almost paralyzed. After March 15, 2022, when the Covid-19 epidemic was basically under control, Vietnam fully opened tourism, and Binh Lieu's tourism activities showed signs of recovery.
During and immediately after the pandemic (2020-2022), the number of tourists to Binh Lieu decreased, estimated at 197,500 (of which 73,990 were overnight visitors), revenue from tourism activities was estimated at 96 billion VND. However, from the first quarter of 2023, the number of visitors increased significantly, estimated at 14,780, equal to 519% over the same period (4,200 overnight visitors, equal to 339% over the same period); revenue from tourism was estimated at 7.6 billion VND, equal to 497% over the same period. This result reflects Binh Lieu's great efforts in closely following the directions of the central government and the province to restore and develop tourism in the new situation.
To specify the tourism development goals, Binh Lieu has completed the construction of the Project on sustainable tourism development associated with poverty reduction and socio-economic development of Binh Lieu district until 2030 and was approved by the Provincial People's Committee; issued Resolution No. 13-NQ/HU dated March 31, 2023 on tourism development of Binh Lieu district until 2025, with a vision to 2030.
In order to create momentum for tourism, Binh Lieu focuses on attracting non-budgetary capital to complete rural and tourism infrastructure. Since 2020, the district has completed a system of traffic works connecting to all villages and hamlets, with a total length of more than 250km, renovating and upgrading the inter-commune road Huc Dong - Dong Van - Cao Ba Lanh connecting to National Highway 18C with a total investment of 430 billion VND.
The accommodation system has also been gradually developed, increasing in both quantity and quality. The district currently has 30 accommodation establishments (3 hotels, 18 motels, 9 homestays), with a capacity of serving about 1,200 people. Along with that, telecommunications and information technology infrastructure continues to receive investment attention in conjunction with promoting digital transformation activities in tourism.
