The province is devising specific plans to realise the master plan, which is
important to its tourism development, including rallying all possible resources
to fully tap potentials of Hoa Binh lake until 2025. As scheduled by 2030, the
area will boast synchronous and modern technical infrastructure and offer
high-quality and diverse tourist products, becoming the largest tourist area in
the province and one of the 12 key tourist areas in the northern mid-land and
mountainous region with cultural tours of the Muong ethnic group and the lake’s
ecological system as key products.
It plans to develop spiritual tours of Thac Bo temple in Cao Phong and Da Bac
district and Doi Co temple in Hien Luong commune, Da Bac district; build
quality resorts and ecological products on Sung island, Thien Phong commune, Da
Bac district; Ngoi Hoa bay in Ngoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district;
community-based tourist products in Ngoi village in Ngoi Hoa commune, Tru
village in Thai Thinh commune, Ke village in Hien Luong commune, Da Bia village
in Tien Phong commune; as well as cultural tours in ethnic minority
communities.
Hoa Binh will continue tapping cruise tours from Tuan Chau tourist port in the
northern province of
Quang Ninh to Hoa Binh lake, and from Da Lake to Hoa Binh lake and hydropower
reservoirs in Son La, Dien Bien and Lai Chau provinces. Priority will be given
to home-stay services in community-based tourist villages and premier resort
services on nearly 1,000ha of Hoa Binh lake in Ngoi Hoa commune and Sung
island, 3-5 starred hotels in Thai Binh and Thai Thinh districts, and a
floating resort in Binh Thanh – Vay Nua – Hien Luong area, a food street and
cultural market along the two banks of the Da river, several stopovers with
artificial landscapes for visitors to take pictures, as well as signature
souvenirs.
It is encouraging businesses and investors to develop tourism by building and
upgrading cruise liners and using technological advances to develop competitive
tourist products.
On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, visitors from near and far are eager to come to the mountainous district of Da Bac to have unique cultural experiences such as learning to wrap traditional cakes of ethnic minorities, practicing writing ancient Tay characters or immersing themselves in the Tay melodies.
Tan Lac has great potential for tourism development. In addition, the Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU, dated October 17, 2022, on building the highland communes in Tan Lac district into provincial-level tourism areas by 2030, with a vision to 2050. However, according to the assessment, implementing the goals in the spirit of Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU has had limited results.
Recognising that tourism and agriculture are local strengths, Mai Chau district is committed to building a green economy through an action program with specific pathways, achieving notable results in line with the resolution of the 26th Party Congress of the district.
With its majestic natural landscapes, diverse ethnic cultures, and numerous unique festivals, Hoa Binh province is an attractive destination that entices travellers from far and wide to explore and experience during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
