(HBO) – A number of communes and districts in Hoa Binh province have effectively attracted investment to tourism development in various areas, such as cultural tourism, eco-tourism, and religious tourism. Many domestic and foreign investors have poured money into tourism projects in the province.
The Heritage Park for Vietnamese scientists and scholars in Bac
Phong commune, Cao Phong district, attracts a large number of visitors.
The province is now home to 72 valid
projects in tourism, accounting for 12.2 percent of its total projects and
worth close to 20.6 trillion VND.
It also has 434 licenced lodging
facilities, nine local-level and one provincial-level tourist complexes, 12
passenger transport service providers and 13 tour operators. More than 300
boats are deployed to serve tourists in the Hoa Binh Reservoir tourist area
while over 100 electric cars serve tourist complexes in the district of Mai
Chau and Lac Thuy, providing jobs for more than 14,000 labourers./.
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.
