Included in the development masterplan of the Hoa Binh lake national tourist area, the lakebed communes in Da Bac highland district are rich in tourism development potential, particularly resort and community tourism.
5-star Robinson resort project in Tien Phong commune,
invested by Hoa Binh Tourism joint Stock Company, is being implemented as a
highlight in the system of ecological resort destinations in Da Bac lake.
In the past, the main source of livelihood of Tien Phong commune
locals was fishing and aquaculture. This job was not always favourable because
it depended on weather factors and environment. Difficult trade and travel conditions
directly affected consumption, market prices, and product output.
Since the implementation of tourism activities, people's
awareness, production and business thinking have seen many innovations. Instead
of only relying on cage fish farming, some households have opened homestay
businesses to serve tourists.
Currently, in addition to Da Bia, in the lake communes of the
district, there are many community based tourism points attracting tourists,
including Mo Hem village (now Doan Ket village) - Tien Phong commune, Sung
village - Cao Son commune, and Ke village - Hien Luong commune.
In particular, Sung village is the only Dao Tien one in the
province doing tourism. In addition to the majestic natural landscape, the
village also preserves the unique culture of customs, housing architecture,
writing, traditional crafts, costumes, and cuisine. This is one of the special
destinations attracting international visitors to visit and explore.
Not only strong in community based tourism, some investors have implemented
high-quality ecological and resort projects. The destinations have been put
into operation, including Mo Retreat, Xoan Village in Mo hamlet, Hien Luong
commune; Vayang Retreat in Van Nua commune; Maida Lodge in Tien Phong commune.
Particularly, the 5-star Robinson natural park project in Tien Phong commune
has carried out the construction of a number of important items.
Ban Kim Quy, Vice Chairman of Da Bac District People's
Committee, said nature and culture are valuable resources that the district is
exploiting and promoting to form a green, safe and attractive tourism
destination, contributing to creating jobs and sustainable livelihoods for
ethnic minorities living in lake communes.
In order to promote the development of local tourism
economy with lakebed tourism as a focus, the district has implemented many
solutions, including investing in and upgrading infrastructure such as roads
and electricity communications systems.
Hoa Binh province is preparing for the Hoa Binh Culture - Tourism Week which will be held at the Hoa Binh Square in mid-November, heard a meeting held by the provincial People’s Committee on May 30.
Thanks to convenient transportation and beautiful mountainous landscapes, eco-tourism resorts in Hoa Binh province are especially attractive to tourists.
In recent years, Hang Kia commune (Mai Chau) has gradually become an attractive destination, attracting many tourists, especially foreign tourists. This achievement is thanks to the consensus and efforts of the Party Committee, the appropriate authorities, and local people. Among them, it is impossible not to mention Ms. Sung Y Mua from Hang Kia village - the first Mong woman to boldly do community tourism associated with preserving and promoting the traditional cultural values of the nation.
Tourism areas upgraded, images of the people, culture and tourism of the Muong Vang land further popularised, and more destinations of sightseeing and festivals formed are among the strides Lac Son district has made after three years of implementing Resolution No. 06-NQ/HU, dated July 26, 2021, of its Party Committee to turn tourism into an important economic sector.
Besides community-based tourism, communes in the lake area of Cao Phong districts boasts huge potential to develop resort- and eco-tourism. Local spiritual tourism, particularly, has been appealing to visitors from far and wide.
