(HBO) – Vu Duy Bong, Chairman of the An Thinh Real Estate joint Stock Company, decided to set foot in the tourism sector in 2014. He grasped all stocks and owned the Hoa Binh Tourist joint Stock Company.
Having great
passion for Muong ethnic culture, Bong decided to build tourism product in Ngoi
hamlet, Ngoi Hoa commune (Tan Lac district).
The four-star Hoa Binh hotel designed in four
styles-Muong Bi, Muong Vang, Muong Thang and Muong Dong was put into operation,
becoming an opulent accommodation for both domestic and foreign visitors.
He also runs two three-star cruisers to serve tourists on Hoa Binh reservoir.
In addition, he has paid due attention to organising events to popularise Hoa
Binh culture and people to international friends. Hoa Binh Tourist JSC is
focusing all resources to invest in some projects in the core area of the
National Hoa Binh Reservoir Tourism Site. Those include Ngoi village tourism
site, and a five-star hotel complex on Sung island, Tien Phong commune (Da Bac
district) with total investment of millions of
Vietnam dong.
Seven stilt houses meeting international standards in Ngoi village are ready to
welcome tourists and create stable jobs for tens of local households. The
company recently inaugurated
Vietnam’s
largest floating water park with 34 clusters of games and water sports like
motor, inflatable boat, fishing canoe, floating swimming pools and other local traditional
sports.
The company has joined hands with leading experts in cultural tourism to
conduct surveys at tourism sites and potential areas then devise investment
strategies.
As a result, Ngoi village has been an attractive destination for foreign and
domestic tourists to experience local culture as well as tourism products.
Despite investment pressure in the past four years, Bong was consistent to
awake Hoa Binh reservoir by building typical tourism products, aiming to
improve livelihoods for those contributing to the construction of the Hoa Binih
hydropower plant./.
With its pristine landscapes, unique cultural heritage of Muong ethnic minority, and an expanding range of visitor experiences, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh has fast become a captivating destination for both domestic and international tourists.
