The draft plan for Hoa Binh's tourism development in the 2021-2025 period with
a vision to 2030 underlined the significance of designing a future plan and the
real development situation of the local tourism in the 2016-2020 period, along

Specifically, in the 2021-2025 period, the province aims to attract 6.3
trillion VND (273.7 million USD) of investment in developing infrastructure
serving tourism and high quality tourism products.
By 2025, the province hopes to welcome 4.9 million visitors with earnings from
tourism reaching about 5.4 trillion VND, creating jobs for about 26,000
labourers. Hoa Binh will strive to make Hoa Binh Lake tourism site meet basic
requirements of a national tourism area in 2025.

about 47,000 labourers. The province will turn the Hoa Binh Lake into a
national tourist site and make tourism a spearhead sector, according to the plan.
Concluding the meeting, Nguyen Van Toan, Vice Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee, lauded the ideas of participants. He assigned the
provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the standing office of
the Steering Committee for Tourism Development to summarise participants’
opinions and finalise the plan promptly.
