(HBO) – Vu Duy Bong, Chairman of the An Thinh Real Estate joint Stock Company, decided to set foot in the tourism sector in 2014. He grasped all stocks and owned the Hoa Binh Tourist joint Stock Company.
Having great
passion for Muong ethnic culture, Bong decided to build tourism product in Ngoi
hamlet, Ngoi Hoa commune (Tan Lac district).
The four-star Hoa Binh hotel designed in four
styles-Muong Bi, Muong Vang, Muong Thang and Muong Dong was put into operation,
becoming an opulent accommodation for both domestic and foreign visitors.
He also runs two three-star cruisers to serve tourists on Hoa Binh reservoir.
In addition, he has paid due attention to organising events to popularise Hoa
Binh culture and people to international friends. Hoa Binh Tourist JSC is
focusing all resources to invest in some projects in the core area of the
National Hoa Binh Reservoir Tourism Site. Those include Ngoi village tourism
site, and a five-star hotel complex on Sung island, Tien Phong commune (Da Bac
district) with total investment of millions of
Vietnam dong.
Seven stilt houses meeting international standards in Ngoi village are ready to
welcome tourists and create stable jobs for tens of local households. The
company recently inaugurated
Vietnam’s
largest floating water park with 34 clusters of games and water sports like
motor, inflatable boat, fishing canoe, floating swimming pools and other local traditional
sports.
The company has joined hands with leading experts in cultural tourism to
conduct surveys at tourism sites and potential areas then devise investment
strategies.
As a result, Ngoi village has been an attractive destination for foreign and
domestic tourists to experience local culture as well as tourism products.
Despite investment pressure in the past four years, Bong was consistent to
awake Hoa Binh reservoir by building typical tourism products, aiming to
improve livelihoods for those contributing to the construction of the Hoa Binih
hydropower plant./.
Hoa Binh province’s rich natural and cultural resources position it as a prime location for developing community-based tourism (CBT). In recent years, support from central and provincial policies, as well as assistance from non-governmental organisations, have encouraged local ethnic minority and mountainous communities to actively engage in the sector.
Van Son Commune, Tan Lạc district, Hoa Binh province also known as "Cloud Valley," boasts a cool climate, stunning natural landscapes, and majestic scenery. Visitors who have been to this place should make a stop at Chien Hamlet to experience a lot of fascinating things and feel the friendly, warmth of the Muong ethnic people.
Thanks to the effective exploitation of natural landscape and the cultural diversity of ethnic minorities, Hoa Binh province has become an attractive destination for tourists seeking experiences and exploration.
The Department of Cultural Heritage has just coordinated with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province to organize a training on implementing the model of the cultural heritage connected in the cultural tourism journey in Cao Phong and Lac Son districts.
The Sung village in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district, is endowed with pristine natural landscape, and Dao Tien ethnic minority community in the village preserves rich cultural heritage, including traditional housing, clothing, language, scripts, customs, and daily life practices. Since the community-based tourism model was introduced in the locality, these traditional cultural values have been further preserved and promoted.
