have decided to respond. Hoa Binh Lake, planned by the Prime Minister as a

area of over 1,700 ha in Ngoi Hoa Commune.

million USD) was invested in the Hoa Vien tourist area to meet visitors’ demand.

studying to invest in the Hoa Binh lake area. The Hanbek Company is considering

ward, Hoa Binh city, while the Dai Doanh Company is looking into Ngoi Hoa and
Hien Luong communes. Vu Duy Bong, Chairman of the Hoa Binh tourism investment JSC,

yearly target, an increase of more than 400,000 against the same period in
2018. Of this, the number of international visitors was 180,000, with a total revenue
of 1.2 trillion VND (51.6 million USD)./.
