Hoa Binh reservoir plays an important role in Hoa Binh province’s tourism development plan. The Prime Minister has approved a master plan to develop the Hoa Binh reservoir into a national tourism site. Accordingly, studying and experiencing the culture of the Muong ethnic minority in parallel with the reservoir’s ecosystem are seen as typical tourism products in the locality.

Community-based tourism has been a magnet for both domestic and foreign visitors. Famous community-based tourism villages in the province are Ngoi hamlet in Ngoi Hoa commune; Da Bia hamlet in Tien Phong commune (Da Bac district), Ke and Sung hamlets (Da Bac), Dua (Coconut) island, Thung Nai (Cao Phong), Thac Bo Temple in Vay Nua commune (Da Bac).

Foreign visitors discover tourism route connecting Ke hamlet in Hien Luong commune to Sung hamlet in Cao Son commune.

The provincial People’s Committees of Hoa Binh, Son La, Lai Chau and Dien Bien along Da River have preferential policies and mechanisms to attract enterprises, organisations and individuals to pour investment in local tourism. They should work to evaluate tourism development potential, form sets of solutions to implement major tourism infrastructure projects.

Waterway tourism through Hoa Binh, Son La, Dien Bien and Lai Chau provinces, Hoa Binh-Son La tourism programme and Lai Chau-Dien Bien-Son La tourism programme must be paid due attention as well.
