By far, there's virtually no professional service catering to the travel business and tourism in Thai Nguyen. There are a few big hotels in the city for mostly Vietnamese business travellers and there are a few tourist attractions including the historical relics of Tin Keo, the scenic Nui Coc Lake... visited by Vietnamese tourists only.
