In the run-up to the 14th National Party Congress and the elections of deputies to the National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels, the 2026 Tourism Programme goes beyond showcasing natural beauty, serving as a concrete and practical effort by the Moc Chau Party Organisation, authorities and residents to mark the nation’s major political events.

The Chairwoman of the Moc Chau ward People’s Committee delivers the opening address for the 2026 Tourism Programme.

The programme opened with a series of standout activities, including an art performance, a colourful flower-float street parade, artistic photo contests and smart tourism experiences via QR codes. The events offered visitors a vivid sense of the area’s natural landscapes and ethnic cultures, underscoring Moc Chau’s image as a “safe, friendly, distinctive and appealing” destination, while also inviting strategic investors, Famtrip delegations and international visitors to the plateau.
