agencies, inspected three large-scale investment projects in the site,

Investmentand TradingConstruction JSC, and the Hoa Binh Lake
ecotourism resort project by Lac Hong Investment JSC in Tan Lac district.

that the province will firmly direct all relevant agencies and departments to
provide maximum support in terms of procedures to ensure the progress of these
projects.
As scheduled, the Ngoi Hoa eco-tourism project’s first phase will be put into
operation in the third quarter of 2024, providing top-notch services. It is
expected to become an idealyear-rounddestination.
Construction of several other key projects is scheduled to commence this year,
promising to offer high-quality services such as yacht tours, kiteboarding,
paragliding, windsurfing, and a high-speed water park slide, outdoor swimming
pools, and beauty spa, among others.
