Summer is coming, surely many parents and students are still wondering, choosing a place to have fun, summer vacation for the family or students, how to suit the time, short travel distance or convenient services to experience... Located in a cool green residential area, Happy Land is not far from the center of Thong Nhat commune (Halong city), is quite an ideal choice. 

The first impression is the experience area shaded by large, old trees; the gurgling waterfall and the flat space as far as the eye can see. Mr  Huyen, manager of the experience area said: We have had the idea for a long time to build a green space as a place for students to play and experience and a weekend getaway for families. With the available area of perennial forest, we designed more waterfalls and planted grass. In particular, we try our best to preserve the perennial trees to provide shade for the forms of experience and services under the shade of the trees and forest canopy.

With an area of about 2 hectares, not far from the center of Thong Nhat commune, this destination is cleverly designed, combining artificial space and cool natural space. The management block and restaurant are neatly arranged on one side. On the other side is a forest, a lawn with large, long-standing green trees designed in a continuous strip, creating a good impression when visitors come to visit.

The space is designed to be very "chill", for those who are passionate about taking "check-in" photos, the photo angles next to the forest, the grass next to the waterfall or the swings on the big trees... can become the perfect background for a beautiful photo. 

Along with that, this destination also attracts tourists with many convenient services, such as: Swimming pool, playground, large yard that can organize team building, dining activities, BBQ parties... Next to it is a planted forest space, about 1 hectare wide, located on a low, gradually sloping hill, where more than 10 canvas tents are arranged for young people and family groups to camp and experience the natural space.

Therefore, here visitors can choose to camp, prepare your own food or enjoy local dishes at Happy Land's restaurant with a large space that can serve 250-300 guests. Currently, this eco-tourism area has completed 2 more community guesthouses and 2 homestays to meet the needs of tourists for a day's rest.

Coming here, children can enjoy the fresh air, freely immerse themselves in the cool water of the large and beautiful swimming pool. Not only that, Happy Land also organizes attractive games, increasing the entertainment experience for children.

According to the eco-park manager, this is currently a destination that attracts many students to participate in experiences or organize year-end parties, and is also a place where families go on weekends. This place is especially popular in the morning and evening, when the weather is less hot.

Huyen added: In the coming time, Happy Land will aim to build an eco-tourism area with a variety of fun activities for children and students. The tourist area is under construction and will soon have more experience points such as vegetable gardens, zoos... Visitors will be supported by staff to guide and introduce activities and suitable entertainment spots.

To get to Happy Land, visitors can go from the center of Halong City along Cao Xanh Street, cross Bang Bridge, turn into Thong Nhat Commune or from Bai Chay follow Love Bridge to the commune. The road is beautiful and convenient.

In-depth cooperation model between Hanoi tourism businesses

The 'Green Island Symphony' tour alliance connecting Cat Ba - Hai Phong is implemented by Hanoi Unesco Travel Club (HUTC) in coordination with Sun World Group (Sun Group), bringing new experiences with classy shows, attractive food tours, 4-star resorts and preferential prices. Cheap tours to Vietnam

The “Green Island Symphony” tour is designed as a summer-inspired experience for 2 days and 1 night. Visitors will travel by the world’s longest sea-crossing cable car ; visit the Bach Dang Giang relic site; immerse themselves in a spectacular show on the sea and end with a Hai Phong food tour with delicious specialties.

The highlight of the tour is the international-class art and sports performance on the sea combined with fireworks in the central bay of Cat Ba. International athletes coordinate in jetski, flyboard and jetsurf formations - extreme sports that are already challenging in standard conditions, now programmed with a system of music, lights, fireworks and lasers that match every second. The show has just set two Guinness World Records at the same time: "Jetski Fireworks Show with the largest formation in the world" and "Most acrobatic flyboard athlete in one minute".

The “Green Island Symphony” tour is the result of a typical multilateral cooperation model, when 7 businesses in Hai Phong joined hands to create a high-quality tourism product, professionally operated but still ensuring accessible prices for the majority of tourists.

With the sharing of infrastructure, services, and communications, the alliance offers prices from VND 2,250,000/person, 30% - 40% lower than individual travelers. Not only does it help optimize costs for tourists, this alliance model also ensures stability in weekly tour operations, proactively sources input, and provides good support for travel agencies in building an ecosystem of short-term tourism products around Hanoi.

Speaking about the new tour of Hai Phong city, Mr Ngoan said that the show "Green Island Symphony" is not just a simple entertainment product, but an international art product that previously had to be experienced in Singapore. The tour is designed to be compact, convenient, suitable for everyone from the elderly to families with young children. The cable car system operates all night to serve visitors to watch the show - a flexible solution, optimizing time and experience of traveling from Hai Phong to Cat Ba and vice versa.

The “Green Island Symphony” tour is a typical example of the mindset of renewing tourism products based on familiar destinations. “Cat Ba is a destination that attracts both domestic and international visitors, but only when there is a high-class live show will the tourism brand here truly break through. The short tour itinerary but rich in experience, professional operation and reasonable price, is the premise for developing sustainable tourism products all year round, not just seasonally,” Ngoan added.

In his role as program coordinator, Mr Anh from HUTC, said that the “Green Island Symphony” tour alliance is not just a single product, but the first step in the strategy of building a short-term tour ecosystem of 2 days and 1 night around Hanoi. “We are preparing to expand a similar model in Ha Nam, Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh, creating a chain of products to serve tourists all year round, while improving the competitiveness of the capital’s travel business community.”.

The birth of the “Green Island Symphony” tour alliance shows that the model of in-depth tourism cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises and large service providers is completely feasible, bringing dual benefits to both tourists and organizers.

In the context of the domestic tourism market being reshaped towards short-term, good-priced, and rich-experience tourism, the tourism alliance model is the key to opening up a more sustainable and proactive future for Vietnamese travel businesses.
