According to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment, the Hoa Binh
Lake tourism area has 16 service, culture, and tourism investment projects
granted investment certificates worth over 3.3 trillion VND (132.3 million
USD), which cover an area of 1,444ha. Projects aim to meet the demand of resort tourism and entertainment service
associated with afforestation, forest protection, cultural identity
preservation, and spiritual tourism.
Although it has attracted several corporations and businesses to invest in
large-scale tourism projects, the implementation of projects remains slow, and
not guaranteed the committed schedule. Recently, to facilitate the implementation of key tourism investment projects,
particularly those within the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area, officials from the
provincial People's Committee and representatives of relevant departments and
agencies, inspected three large-scale investment projects in the site,
including the Binh Thanh eco-resort project by Mora Group JSC in Cao Phong
district, the Ngoi Hoa eco-tourism project by Hoang Son Energy
Investmentand TradingConstruction JSC, and the Hoa Binh Lake
ecotourism resort project by Lac Hong Investment JSC in Tan Lac district.
Nguyen Van Toan, Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, affirmed
that the province will firmly direct all relevant agencies and departments to
provide maximum support in terms of procedures to ensure the progress of these
projects.
As scheduled, the Ngoi Hoa eco-tourism project’s first phase will be put into
operation in the third quarter of 2024, providing top-notch services. It is
expected to become an idealyear-rounddestination.
Construction of several other key projects is scheduled to commence this year,
promising to offer high-quality services such as yacht tours, kiteboarding,
paragliding, windsurfing, and a high-speed water park slide, outdoor swimming
pools, and beauty spa, among others.
In recent years, community-based tourism, sports tourism, and agricultural and
rural tourism in Hoa Binh have attracted the interest of young people and

in the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area have been resumed, and stably maintained.
Some tourism products have contributed to connecting road and waterway tourism
routes.
