Visitors to Kim Boi can take mineral baths and enjoy local specialties, especially those offered by Hoa Qua Son restaurants ran by the man.
Aware of capital shortage facing local poor famers, Thap and his family used their own money to buy cows for them to take advantage of Kim Boi’s natural conditions with vast lawns and hills. The cow herd expanded from only tens to hundreds after several years. The reward-winning cow raising model has helped many households in economic development and poverty reduction.
Over recent years, Kim Boi has emerged as a tourist destination, especially for holidaymakers from Hanoi. Given this, the man opened three restaurants, offering special dishes prepared by local chiefs. The facilities are employing 28 labourers, each with a monthly salary of 6-17 million VND, and generate over 100 million VND for his family.
Currently, Thap is running two farms of 200 pigs and other animals, and cooperating with local households to provide materials for the restaurants.
In 2017, he established the eight-member Hoa Qua Son Cooperative that covers 50 hectares of fruit trees to be served at the restaurants and delivered in the market.
The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on November 20 coordinated with Hai Dang Group Hoa Binh Seafood Company Limited to release 1.5 tonnes of fries into Hoa Binh Lake to regenerate aquatic resources, with a total value of 266 million VND (10,460 USD).
On the afternoon of November 16, Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, held a reception for a delegation from the Indian Embassy led by Ambassador Sandeep Arya.

Accompanying Long at the meeting were leaders of the provincial People's Committee and representatives from various departments and sectors.
Hoa Binh province hosted the "Meet India 2024" conference on November 16, marking a significant step in strengthening bilateral economic ties between Vietnam and India.
In recent times, with its core role in building and fostering great national unity, Cao Phong district's Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee has actively carried out its responsibilities and front work, and closely collaborated with member organisations to encourage locals to implement the Party’s guidelines, and the State’s policies and laws. At the same time, it has worked to promote the dynamism, creativity, and contributions of officials, Party members, and local people to help the district develop further.
