(HBO) – A number of communes and districts in Hoa Binh province have effectively attracted investment to tourism development in various areas, such as cultural tourism, eco-tourism, and religious tourism. Many domestic and foreign investors have poured money into tourism projects in the province.
The Heritage Park for Vietnamese scientists and scholars in Bac
Phong commune, Cao Phong district, attracts a large number of visitors.
The province is now home to 72 valid
projects in tourism, accounting for 12.2 percent of its total projects and
worth close to 20.6 trillion VND.
It also has 434 licenced lodging
facilities, nine local-level and one provincial-level tourist complexes, 12
passenger transport service providers and 13 tour operators. More than 300
boats are deployed to serve tourists in the Hoa Binh Reservoir tourist area
while over 100 electric cars serve tourist complexes in the district of Mai
Chau and Lac Thuy, providing jobs for more than 14,000 labourers./.
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.
