In particular, the survey team of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism made a survey in Go Lao waterfall to open the tourism route of Hoa Binh lake in Phuc San commune. Currently, Phuc San commune is one of the localities in the planning of national tourist area of Hoa Binh lake. This is an opportunity for Phuc San commune to attract tourists to visit and explore. The Party committees and the commune authorities have oriented the development of the ecotourism and experiential tourism. However, due to the difficult conditions of capital, investors have not been found so currently Phuc San does not have any tourism activities. In the near future, Phuc San commune will focus on attracting investors to develop tourism. They will open tourist routes around Hoa Binh lake and explore Go Lao waterfall.
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.
