The province is devising specific plans to realise the master plan, which is
important to its tourism development, including rallying all possible resources
to fully tap potentials of Hoa Binh lake until 2025. As scheduled by 2030, the
area will boast synchronous and modern technical infrastructure and offer
high-quality and diverse tourist products, becoming the largest tourist area in
the province and one of the 12 key tourist areas in the northern mid-land and
mountainous region with cultural tours of the Muong ethnic group and the lake’s
ecological system as key products.
It plans to develop spiritual tours of Thac Bo temple in Cao Phong and Da Bac
district and Doi Co temple in Hien Luong commune, Da Bac district; build
quality resorts and ecological products on Sung island, Thien Phong commune, Da
Bac district; Ngoi Hoa bay in Ngoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district;
community-based tourist products in Ngoi village in Ngoi Hoa commune, Tru
village in Thai Thinh commune, Ke village in Hien Luong commune, Da Bia village
in Tien Phong commune; as well as cultural tours in ethnic minority
communities.
Hoa Binh will continue tapping cruise tours from Tuan Chau tourist port in the
northern province of
Quang Ninh to Hoa Binh lake, and from Da Lake to Hoa Binh lake and hydropower
reservoirs in Son La, Dien Bien and Lai Chau provinces. Priority will be given
to home-stay services in community-based tourist villages and premier resort
services on nearly 1,000ha of Hoa Binh lake in Ngoi Hoa commune and Sung
island, 3-5 starred hotels in Thai Binh and Thai Thinh districts, and a
floating resort in Binh Thanh – Vay Nua – Hien Luong area, a food street and
cultural market along the two banks of the Da river, several stopovers with
artificial landscapes for visitors to take pictures, as well as signature
souvenirs.
It is encouraging businesses and investors to develop tourism by building and
upgrading cruise liners and using technological advances to develop competitive
tourist products.
Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
