According to the Hoa Binh provincial Department of Planning and Investment, in Hoa Binh Lake tourist area, there are currently 16 licensed or certified service, cultural and tourism investment projects with a land use area of about 1,444 hectares, and a total capital of over 3.3 trillion VND (133.5 million USD). In addition to investment attraction, the province is speeding up the implementation of projects so as to realise a goal of developing Hoa Binh Lake tourist area into a national one.

With 90% of the area cleared, the Ngoi Hoa ecotourism site project invested by
Hoang Son joint-Stock Investment Power Construction Trade Company is urgently
completing investment items. In the photo: Japanese Bungalow village.
Binh Thanh ecological resort project
invested by Mora Group joint Stock Company in Trang hamlet, Binh Thanh commune
(Cao Phong), has a total investment capital of over 182.44 billion VND with an
area of more than 12.9 hectares. To date, the company has finished site
clearance, converted forest use purposes and planted a replacement forest, and
changed land use purposes and leased land for the first phase. It has also
completed construction licensing procedures and is preparing for construction.
Another project in the area that is also
facing obstacles is the Hoa Binh Lake Ecotourism and Resort Project in Suoi Hoa
commune (Tan Lac) of Lac Hong Investment joint Stock Company, with a total
investment of nearly 799.3 billion VND, and a land area of nearly 150.8
hectares. Vu Minh Hieu, Deputy Director of the company, said that currently,
about 10.86 hectares cannot be converted because households do not cooperate
and demand very high transfer prices compared to the general level in the area,
so the site clearance has not been completed.
The Ngoi Hoa ecotourism site project
invested by Hoang Son joint-Stock Investment Power Construction Trade Company
also encountered similar problems related to site clearance. The project is
carried out in Suoi Hoa commune with a total investment of 650 billion VND and
a land area of over 146 hectares. At present, there are still 32 households
that have not yet agreed to clear land with an area of over 9.5 hectares.
The steering board for the implementation
of the project to develop Hoa Binh Lake tourist area into a national-level one
has just inspected the investment of projects in the area. The
"bottlenecks" in implementing these projects were promptly solved by
the working group. Nguyen Van Toan, Vice Chairman of the provincial People's
Committee, said that the province focuses on leading and directing to solve
difficult problems and obstacles in attracting investment in tourism in general
and developing Hoa Binh Lake tourism in particular. Accordingly, localities
where projects are implemented have coordinated with investors to help remove
"bottlenecks" in site clearance, while relevant departments and
sectors have provided maximum support in terms of procedures for projects to
ensure progress.
As the new year begins and festive spirit fills the air, visitors flock to Hoa Binh lake, often dubbed the "Ha Long Bay on land," to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. In spring, the lake comes alive with lush greenery and delicate blossoms, while boats carrying eager tourists glide across its tranquil waters.
With effective business operations, significant increases in the number of visitors at weekends and on public holidays, and being listed among the 71 most beautiful places to visit worldwide by the prestigious US travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller, Hoa Binh’s tourism is "spreading its wings" on its journey towards the targets of welcoming 4.9 million visitors, including 1 million foreigners, and achieving total tourism revenue of 5.4 trillion VND (211.89 million USD) in 2025.
On February 21, the Provincial People's Committee held a conference to implement the tourism plan in 2025 and meet with tourism businesses operating in the province. The event was chaired by Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee and the Head of the Provincial Tourism Steering Committee.
Tien Pagoda is located in the valley of Lao Noi and Lao Ngoai villages, Phu Nghia commune, Lac Thuy district; it is surrounded by two mountain ranges stretching like two giant dragons reaching for the blue sky. Every year, when spring comes, thousands of Buddhists and tourists from all over the country make a pilgrimage to Tien Pagoda. The relic complex of Tien Pagoda is ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with 21 relic sites of many types: historical and cultural relics, scenic relics, and archaeological relics.
Cao Phong has paid due attention to developing tourism, creating impetus for socio-economic development towards completing the targets set in the resolution of the district’s 28th Party Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure.
A great number of visitors have flocked to tourist attractions in Hoa Binh province in the first lunar month every year to admire the beautiful scenery, fully enjoy the spring atmosphere, and immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere in many localities.
