Mr. Dinh Cong Hanh, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Phuc San Commune says: A lot of delegations have surveyed Go Lao waterfall to open tourist routes. In particular, the survey team of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism made a survey in Go Lao waterfall to open the tourism route of Hoa Binh lake in Phuc San commune. Currently, Phuc San commune is one of the localities in the planning of national tourist area of Hoa Binh lake. This is an opportunity for Phuc San commune to attract tourists to visit and explore. The Party committees and the commune authorities have oriented the development of the ecotourism and experiential tourism. However, due to the difficult conditions of capital, investors have not been found so currently Phuc San does not have any tourism activities. In the near future, Phuc San commune will focus on attracting investors to develop tourism. They will open tourist routes around Hoa Binh lake and explore Go Lao waterfall.
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.
