Thien Minh Tourism JSC (TMG), specialising in tourism, owns
leading brands in the field of tourism services such as destination management
(Vivu Journeys, Intrepid Vietnam), online booking (ivivu.com), aviation
services (Hai Au Aviation), and accommodation (5-Star Tui Blue Resort, 4-Star
Victoria Hotels & Resorts, 3-Star EMM Hotels). It has been implementing
many hotel and resort projects in provinces and cities across the country,
including Mai Chau Lodge in Mai Chau district which has been in operation since
2007.
TMG Chairman of the Board of Directors Tran Trong Kien
proposed several investment ideas in Hoa Binh, such as a pilot hydroplane
project to develop Hoa Binh Lake tourism, expected to be piloted in May and
June from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport to Hoa Binh Lake; a project to
expand Mai Chau Lodge and build a community-based cultural centre in the
district; and tours to Hoa Binh and high-quality real estate and resort projects.
He suggested the province pay attention, create conditions
and introduce potential investment locations for the group to research and
implement projects in the province, thus improving service quality, and
building and promoting the tourism brand of Hoa Binh province. He also pledged
to focus resources on investing in quality products, contributing to the
locality’s tourism development.
Addressing the meeting, Tuan acknowledged TMG’s
contributions to the province over the past years. Backing its investment
proposals, he asked the provincial People’s Committee to set up a working group
to work with the TMG in considering the opening of a pilot hydroplane service,
adjusting the planning to expand the Mai Chau Lodge with the aim to have
Victoria Mai Chau Lodge in 2023, and reviewing Hoa Binh Lake projects to open
more tours and attract more investment in this field./.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
