(HBO) – The development of a master plan of Hoa Binh province for 2021-2026, with a vision to 2050 is considered one of the four strategic breakthroughs in the realization of the 17th provincial Party Congress’s Resolution. While it is an urgent task, the quality of planning must be ensured in accordance with the new Law on Planning, thereby creating motivations to attract investment resources for sustainable development.


 The master plan defines the development of tourism on Hoa Binh Lake in association with sustainable environmental protection.

On April 2, 2021, the province decided to establish a steering committee for building the master plan of the province led by the Secretary of the provincial Party Committee. The process is divided into five phases, with phase one focusing on data collection and assessment of current situation and phase two on developing the draft master plan. In phase three, the draft will be put on table, and then be revised in phase four. Finally, it will be submitted to the Prime Minister for approval in accordance with Article 35 of the Law on Planning. The province has basically completed the second phase.

There are difficulties during the planning making process because the national and regional master plans have not yet been approved. The lack of information and orientations is also a problem.

To improve the quality of the planning work and ensure that it is in conformity with provisions of the laws, the provincial steering committee asked relevant agencies and People's Committees of districts and cities to raise their responsibilities and provide detailed and accurate data for the consulting unit.

It is necessary for tourism planning to reflect the province's advantages in terms of location, environment and culture. Attention should be paid to Hoa Binh lake as well as strategic tourism areas such as Kim Boi and Yen Thuy hot springs in association with homestay and other outdoor activities including trekking.


Hoa Binh has set a target of becoming a luxury resort destination in the region. However, the development of the tourism industry will be attached to environmental protection, development of transport, electricity, clean water supply, telecommunications systems, high-quality human resources as well schools, hospitals, commercial centers, and amusement parks.

As for industrial planning, an area specializing in furniture materials should be established to attract high quality human resources from the capital city of Hanoi.

Regarding investment attraction, the focus should be on projects that prove to be effective, generate jobs, andcontributed to State Budget while preserving environmental sustainability.


The province is planned to be an area that provides green agricultural products at affordable prices, processing high-quality farm produce to Hanoi. Attention will be paid to high-tech agriculture, protecting the environment and growing medicinal plants under the forest canopy.

The provincial Department of Planning and Investment is assigned to coordinate with relevant agencies and units to complete the planning and submit it to the Prime Minister by August 31, 2022./.
