The master plan holds significance to the development of Hoa Binh Lake tourism.
The master plan and related planning are designed to turn the lake into an
attractive destination with diverse tourist and cultural products typical of
the northern midland and mountainous region. It is expected to serve about
1.6-2 million visitors by 2030 and 2.5-3 million by 2035.
According to Director of the provincial Construction Department Tran Hai Lam,
the master plan will lay an important legal framework to boost investment and
develop tourist products in the area.
The construction department is making recommendations to the provincial
People's Committee and coordinating with relevant ministries and sectors in
taking steps to implement the master plan, including making construction plans
for the site.
The Construction Ministry has asked the province to pay
attention to land use purpose and the change of purpose of forest land in the
area. Only projects with special and urgent use can use land in protective and
special-use forest and must comply with the Forestry Law.
When carrying out projects in the area, it is necessary to restrict the change
of natural terrain, carefully assess the impact on socio-economic development,
preserve to the utmost the local cultural identity and environmental landscapes
in line with legal regulations on environmental protection, and ensure national
defence-security, climate change adaptation, and the absolute safety of Hoa
Binh Lake and Hoa Binh hydropower plant./.
