(HBO) – Hoa Binh lake, the biggest man made in Southeast Asia, is about 70km long, crossing 17 communes of one city and five district. It houses 47 large and small islands. The lake area features breathtaking landscapes, enticing cultures of different ethnic groups, and renowned spiritual tourist destinations.

On August 1, 2016, the Prime Minister issued
Decision No. 1528/QD-TTg approving a master plan for developing the lake as a
national tourist area until 2030. On June 22, 2017, the Standing Board of the
provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 14-NQ/TU on the development of
the Hoa Binh Lake tourist area into a national one.
After half a decade implementing Resolution No.
14, the province has seen the lake area so far meeting three out of five
criteria set for a national tourist site. Many of its socio-economic
infrastructure projects have been completed, contributing to improving the
conditions of local travel, production and people’s livelihoods.
Currently, the Hoa Binh lake tourist area has
107 accommodation establishments, employing 1,200 workers. Its restaurants,
entertainment spots, tourist attractions, and tours have been built and
connected with localities in the province and country, creating a fairly
diverse tourism ecosystem attractive to visitors.
Every year, the province organises famtrip and
presstrip delegations to invite tourism associations, travel and media agencies
from other provinces to join hands promoting Hoa Binh’s tourism. Other measures
include connecting businesses for partnerships, and expanding tourist markets.
To date, there have been 18 projects worth some 3.5 trillion VND (147.58
million USD) in total approved for investment in the Hoa Binh lake area.
In order to meet remaining criteria for the area
to be recognised as a national tourism site by 2025, Hoa Binh is working to
attract investment projects serving the development of accommodation facilities
rated three stars and above; promoting community-based tourism; tackling investors’
obstacles; and running communications campaigns for raising public awareness on
tourism promotion and environmental protection./.
Boasting favourable transport system, stunning landscapes, and an array of wellness resorts, Hoa Binh has been an ideal antidote for relieving stress.
