Ha Giang has adopted various policies to develop community-based tourism in accordance with the model of typical cultural tourism villages. Quan Ba was a provincial pioneer in developing community tourism in association with promoting tangible and intangible cultural values.
The district attaches great importance to preserving and developing traditional handicraft products such as linen weaving of the H’Mong ethnic group in Lung Tam and Can Ty communes, Thanh Van corn wine in Quan Ba Commune, and Thanh Long honey in Thanh Van Commune. It has also restored traditional festivals of the H’Mong, Tay, Dao, Nung, and Bo Y ethnic groups, attracting investment to develop tourism infrastructure.
Quan Ba District data show that the average income of households providing homestay services is about VND50-100 million a year, contributing significantly to improved living standards for the district’s ethnic minorities.

The policy on rapid development of tourism services in Quan Ba is an opportunity for the district to preserve, exploit and promote traditional cultural values, create jobs, raise incomes and improve rural residents’ lives. This is also an important strategy for achieving Quan Ba District’s economic restructuring in order to reduce the proportion of agriculture and forestry, and increase the proportion of industry, construction, trade and services.
