Politburo Resolution No. 80-NQ/TW on the development of Viet Nam's culture identifies culture as the foundation, an important endogenous resource, a major driving force, a pillar, and a regulatory mechanism for rapid and sustainable development. The resolution calls for a comprehensive identification of cultural resources; research and assessment of their total economic value; and the transformation of heritage into assets.

The northern province of Ninh Binh estimated to welcome over 962,000 tourist arrivals in September of 2026.

A cultural and tourism promotion programme themed “World Heritage Tourism: A Cup of Coffee with Views of Yunnan and Viet Nam: Sharing the Same Rhythm in Ninh Binh” was held at the Trang An Landscape Complex in northern Ninh Binh Province on September 20.

Vietnam's tourism industry served an estimated 6.5 million tourists during the five-day National Day holiday from August 29 to September 2, up 18.1% year-on-year.

Resolution 26-NQ/TW is seen as an important milestone, opening up new orientations and development opportunities for Vietnam’s tourism sector.

Red national flags line streets across Vietnam, historical sites welcome large numbers of visitors, and a wide range of cultural and artistic activities create a special atmosphere during the National Day holiday. If properly developed, these elements could become distinctive tourism products for international visitors.

Ninh Binh’s Department of Tourism said on August 23 that several tourist sites and attractions across the province have temporarily suspended or restricted certain activities amid the impact of Storm No. 4 and ongoing heavy rains and flooding, in a move to ensure the safety of visitors and workers.

In August alone, Ninh Binh province welcomed over 983,000 holidaymakers and earned nearly 1,2 trillion VND in revenue, up 29.81% and 26.03%, respectively the Department of Tourism reported.
