The site, located in Yen Binh district and Thac Ba town, will
cover a total area of around 28,800 hectares. About 1,200ha (excluding the area
of the water) will be used to develop the tourism zone.
The plan aims to turn the Thac Ba Lake site into a national tourism hub by
2025.
Over the next five years, the site will develop into an ecotourism, resort and
recreation centre of Yen Bai province and the northern midland and mountainous
area.
The site will take advantage of its lakeside areas, scenic beauty and the
cultural identity of the Chay river to build a brand for tourism products
aligned with approved regional development strategies.
The plan will ensure the area’s tourism sector is in harmony with other
economic sectors and the lake’s other functions to maintain the region’s
ecosystem, mitigate climate change and prevent natural disasters.
The site will develop connections with popular resorts and other tourism
hotspots in Yen Bai and Hanoi.
One focus of the plan is on mobilising local resources and using rural
labourers to help eradicate poverty and promote an economic transformation in
the area.
The plan targets welcoming 380,000 visitors by 2025 and 1 million by 2030.
International arrivals should account for 40,000 and 140,000 of the tourists,
respectively. Accommodations will consist of 600 rooms by the first deadline and
1,000 by the second.
Total tourism revenues are expected to hit 300 billion VND (nearly 13 million
USD) by 2025 and 900 billion VND by 2030. The site will create 1,000 jobs for
local people by 2025 and 2,000 by 2030.
The site will focus on attracting tourists from Hanoi, other provinces in the
Red River Delta, the northeastern coastal and the northern midland and
mountainous region, while also attracting luxury tourists from HCM City, Da
Nang and Can Tho.
Internationally, priority will be given to the traditional markets, including
France, the US and Canada, in addition to expanding reach in Northeast Asian
markets such as China, Japan and the Republic of Korea, and Southeast Asian
nations including Thailand and Laos.
