Điện Biên Province ready to receive visitors during flower festival

ĐBP - Households in Điện Biên Phủ City in the northern province of Điện Biên have registered to offer accommodation for visitors during the ban (Bauhinia) Flower Festival, a highlight of Visit Vietnam Year – Điện Biên 2024, which is set to open in the province on March 16.

Some 40 households are located in Nam Thanh and Him Lam Ward in Thanh Minh and Pá Khoang Commune. These local houses, some of which are traditional stilt houses, have a total of 160 vacant rooms equipped with necessary amenities, ensuring safety and accommodation for hundreds of tourists.

Many households can also offer meals upon request of the tourists, and do not charge accommodation fees for veterans.

The number of tourists to Điện Biên during the festival is forecasted to increase significantly. However, the accommodation infrastructure of the locality is still limited and lacks the capacity to accommodate such a high influx of visitors.

Therefore, the provincial People's Committee and the People's Committee of Điện Biên Phủ City are encouraging households in the area to be prepared to support accommodation for tourists. The communes and wards continue to inspect, review, and compile a list of households that have suitable conditions and are willing to provide lodging and food services for tourists. Based on this information, the city will coordinate, support, and allocate tourists in a reasonable manner, ensuring that they have safe and friendly accommodation and dining options.

Spanning from March 13 to 18, the ban (Bauhinia) Flower Festival boasts a diverse lineup of activities, including an incense offering ceremony at the Điện Biên Phủ martyrs' memorial temple, the launch of Visit Vietnam Year – Điện Biên 2024, featuring a music extravaganza and a high-altitude fireworks display, and a photo contest showcasing the resplendent ban flower landscape. The event also includes a show of traditional costumes of ethnic groups, an ethnic sports competition, an exhibition featuring cultural and tourism products, and activities to connect tours and travel routes.
