Dien Bien sees a sharp increase in tourist arrivals

      Dien Bien province has welcomed 74,500 tourists since the beginning of this year, an increase of 75 percent compared to the same period last year.
The economic turnover from tourism has reached VND28 billion, up three fold against the same period last year. This is a result of the tourism advertising campaign to prepare for celebrations of the 55th anniversary of the historical Dien Bien Phu military victory and other festivals, organised by the provincial department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Dien Bien province has completed many projects to conserve the Dien Bien Phu Victory Statue and the Him Lam centre to meet tourist demand to learn about the history and culture of the area.
The number of visitors to Dien Bien is predicted to increase sharply in April and May.
