The organising committee of the 2024 Hoa Binh Culture and Tourism Week on November 17 took a group of guests from various provinces and cities on a tour to survey several attractions within the Hoa Binh Lake Tourism Area.
The delegation explores the ecological resort model at Mo village in Hien Luong commune, Da Bac district.
With its picturesque "mountain-water harmony" landscape, the Hoa Binh Lake Tourism Area is striving to meet the criteria for national tourism area status. It aims to become one of the 12 key tourism destinations in the northeastern mountainous region, offering distinctive travel experiences that combine cultural exploration with the ecosystem of the reservoir. The area is drawing attention from investors and is gaining popularity with both domestic and international tourists.
The group set off from Bich Ha Wharf, and visited eco-resorts such as Mo village and Xoan Retreat in Hien Luong commune, as well as the spiritual tourism site of Thac Bo Temple in Thung Nai commune in Cao Phong district. Along the way, they enjoyed the breathtaking natural scenery, explored cultural and historical values, and discovered the unique attractions of the region.
The tour provided the participants with memorable experiences, leaving deep impressions of the majestic landscapes, culture, and people of Hoa Binh. As part of the activities during the Culture and Tourism Week, this survey trip played a vital role in promoting and advertising the province's tourism destinations. It was also a key effort in introducing, promoting, and connecting tour routes to the Hoa Binh Lake Tourism Area, encouraging both domestic and international visitors to explore this unique destination.
Spanning thousands of hectares and winding gracefully along mountain slopes, hillsides, and riverbanks, the terraced rice fields of Lac Son District present a stunning and captivating beauty. This region, renowned for its remarkable terraced landscapes, is also the centre of Hoa Binh Culture known for numerous archaeological sites.
The life of Mong people in Hang Kia and Pa Co communes of Mai Chau district has improved much thanks to tourism development.
The man-made Hoa Binh Lake, with a water surface area of approximately 9,000 hectares and a capacity of 9.45 billion cubic meters, stretches over 200 kilometers from Hoa Binh to Son La provinces. With the goal of developing into a national tourism area, the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is expected to not only become the largest tourism centre in the province but also one of the 12 key tourist destinations in the northern midland and mountainous region of Vietnam.
Da Bia hamlet, now Duc Phong, in Tien Phong commune, Da Bac district, was once almost isolated from the outside as the only way to the hamlet was to get a boat ride across the Hoa Binh reservoir. However, as its tourism potential has been unleashed, the hamlet has established itself as one of the most attractive destinations on the tourism map. It has even received the ASEAN Community-Based Tourism Awards in 2019.
In the first 9 months of 2024, Mai Chau district, Hoa Binh province welcomed over 684 thousand visitors to visit and relax. In which, over 516 thousand domestic visitors and more than 168 thousand international visitors. Total revenue from tourism is estimated at over 821 billion VND.
