During the 2018 - 2023 period, priority was given to investing in building and upgrading transportation routes to the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area.
Apart from constructing and upgrading roads, provincial authorities have also paid attention to investing in the electric grid and telecommunications networks in community-based tourism areas and tourist spots to meet demand of tourism businesses and visitors.
Currently, the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is home to hundreds of accommodation establishments, including over 10 hotels from 1 - 3 stars, and 70 community guesthouses which generate jobs for over 1,200 employees.
