(HBO) – The master planning for the development of Hoa Binh Lake National Tourism Site in Hoa Binh towards 2030 was approved by the Prime Minister in Decision 1528/QD-TTg on August 1, 2016. It is an important foundation and motivation for making component plans and projects in order to promote the value of Hoa Binh Lake as well as the province’s socio-economic development.
Hoa Binh Lake boasts
the beauty of water and mountain, which is expected to become an attractive
tourist site.
Currently, the site has 16 projects on service, culture and
tourism that have received licences or investment certificates. Covering a
total area of about 1,444 hectares, the projects have combined investment of
over 3.3 billion VND. They aim to provide tourism, accommodation and
entertainment services to visitors, while planting and protecting the forest
and the culture of ethnic minority groups.
Along with the projects, over the years, Hoa Binh has
implemented tourism infrastructure projects as well as those to preserve the
culture of ethnic minority groups in the site, including projects to develop
tourism infrastructure in Da River, Mo 2 village in Binh Thanh commune, Cao
Phong district, and another to restore and develop Thac Bo temple. The road
from Hoa Binh city to Thung Nai commune has also been built.
The master planning focuses on four major areas, creating an
effect in investment of other tourism sites in the region and the province. At
the same time, the planning also gives development orientation for the urban
system and rural residential areas in association with tourism expansion, along
with a system of tourism support sites.
Meanwhile, it also sketches out the growth of social
infrastructure system serving tourism development as well as the development of
architecture and decoration for the site./.
Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
