Efforts are being made to draw tourists back to Ha Giang Province, which was hit severely by Typhoon Yagi, including hotel discounts.
“Hotels will offer discounts of 10 to 30% until the end of this peak season,” Lai Quoc Tinh, chairman of Ha Giang Tourism Association, announced on Oct. 14 at a tourism promotion event in Hanoi.
Local hotels and motels unaffected by the storm are ready for visitors, he said.
The peak season in the popular mountain destination in the far north is in spring and autumn, from March to May and from September to November, when the weather is pleasant.
Since early October travel agencies have been on fam trips to Ha Giang to evaluate the situation.
The province has planted new batches of buckwheat flowers and renovated major tourist sites and historical landmarks.
The province was severely impacted by flooding in August and Typhoon Yagi in September.
Many tourists canceled their trips here in September, causing some restaurants to close due to a lack of customers and revenues to plummet.
Most visitors during this time are foreigners since domestic tourists are still worried about their safety following the recent floods and typhoon.
