Sa Pa focuses on developing night-time tourism products
To diversify its tourism offerings and extend visitors’ length of stay, with a target of welcoming about 5.8 million tourists by 2025, Sa Pa (Lao Cai province) is focusing on developing vibrant and culturally rich night-time tourism activities. Notable products such as night markets, ethnic cultural performances, village discovery tours, and light night hiking have left strong impressions on both domestic and international visitors. In addition to helping preserve and promote ethnic culture, night-time tourism is also considered a strategic approach to increasing revenue and fostering sustainable local economic development.
