trillion VND (273.7 million USD) of investment in developing infrastructure
serving tourism and high quality tourism products.
By 2025, the province hopes to welcome 4.9 million visitors with earnings from

requirements of a national tourism area in 2025.
In the 2025-2030 period, the province aims to lure 11.9

In the period, the province expects to attract 7.3 million visitors and earned
11 trillion VND in tourism revenue. The sector is hoped to create jobs for
about 47,000 labourers. The province will turn the Hoa Binh Lake into a
national tourist site and make tourism a spearhead sector, according to the plan.
Concluding the meeting, Nguyen Van Toan, Vice Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee, lauded the ideas of participants. He assigned the
provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the standing office of
the Steering Committee for Tourism Development to summarise participants’
opinions and finalise the plan promptly.
It is necessary to point out outstanding achievements and major shortcomings
and weaknesses of the sector, defining reasons behind the situation and giving
specific and feasible solutions, he stressed.
Meanwhile, it is crucial to pay greater attention to tourism
planning, focusing on investing in expanding tourism infrastructure in the
master plan for the development of the Hoa Binh Lake national tourist area, he
said.
Toan also stressed the need to clarify the strength of the local tourism sector
with focus on cultural, spiritual and ecology tourism, while concentrating on
building tourism products, expanding markets and designing tours linking
tourist sites inside and outside the province./.
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.
