(HBO) – The remote villages around Hoa Binh Lake have been upgraded, giving tourists a feeling of hospitality. The localities have been turned into a tourist area, with bustling wharves.
Households
in Hoa Binh city have invested in aquaculture on Hoa Binh Lake, creating a
hallmark for local tourism.
More than 200 vessels are operating at the
Hoa Binh Lake tourist site, mainly gathering at Bich Ha Wharf in Hoa Binh
commune, Hoa Binh city, and Thung Nai Wharf in Thung Nai commune, Cao Phong
district.
The crew members have received intensive
training and been equipped with knowledge and skills in waterway eco-tourism.
Meanwhile, the vessels have their infrastructure upgraded to ensure safety and
comfort for holiday-makers during their trips.
In 2017, the Hoa Binh Lake tourist site had
yet to contribute much to regional economic development. Local residents faced
a range of difficulties, and there still remained a big gap between urban and
rural areas.
Economic growth rate at the tourist site
stands at about 21 percent, with services holding the lion’s share (47
percent), followed by industry, agriculture and aquaculture.
After the three year’s implementing
Resolution No. 14-NQ/TU of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board on
developing the Hoa Binh Lake tourist site, local residents’ awareness of
benefits brought about by the tourist site has been improved.
The site has attracted investors and
helped to boost economic growth, generate jobs and raise material and spiritual
life of locals./.
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.
