(HBO) – Hoa Binh Lake is a relatively perfect combination of the nature and cultural identifies of local residents, becoming a magnet for both tourists and investors.

Thac Bo Temple on Hoa Binh Lake is a spiritual tourism attraction for a large number of visitors.

Covering an area of 2,249 sq.km, the 70km-long lake spreads across many communes of five district-level localities. It is home to numerous spectacular and poetic islets such as those in Thung Nai commune (Cao Phong district) and Tien Phong commune (Da Bac district).

Apart from the charming natural beauty, Hoa Binh Lake also boasts a vast and unique cultural space of the Muong, Tay, Dao, and Thai ethnic minority groups that promises fresh experiences for tourists.

Given the lake’s special potential, the Prime Minister approved a master plan on the development of the Hoa Binh Lake national tourism area in Hoa Binh province until 2030. To carry out the PM’s decision, the provincial Party Committee issued a resolution on the development of the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area into a national one. Following that, a detailed plan was launched by the provincial People’s Committee to implement the resolution, featuring such activities as attracting resources for investment infrastructure, stepping up investment promotion, and developing tourism products in line with the master plan.

Hoa Binh Lake was identified as a key tourism area in the province, focusing on high-quality tourism associated with environmental protection.

Provincial authorities are working to attract potential businesses to developing high-quality tourism products that generate high added value and help fuel sustainable economic restructuring. They are also directing sectors and localities to boost the creation of ecological, resort, and cultural tourism products; the popularisation of the lake’s image; personnel training; the connection of tours; the mobilisation of resources for tourism infrastructure construction; and the development of environmentally friendly tourism products imbued with local cultural identities, thereby adding to the attractiveness of Hoa Binh Lake.
