(HBO) – Hoa Binh Lake is a relatively perfect combination of the nature and cultural identifies of local residents, becoming a magnet for both tourists and investors.
Thac Bo Temple on Hoa Binh Lake is a
spiritual tourism attraction for a large number of visitors.
Covering an area of 2,249
sq.km, the 70km-long lake spreads across many communes of five district-level
localities. It is home to numerous spectacular and poetic islets such as those
in Thung Nai commune (Cao Phong district) and Tien Phong commune (Da Bac
district).
Apart from the charming
natural beauty, Hoa Binh Lake also boasts a vast and unique cultural space of
the Muong, Tay, Dao, and Thai ethnic minority groups that promises fresh
experiences for tourists.
Given the lake’s special
potential, the Prime Minister approved a master plan on the development of the Hoa
Binh Lake national tourism area in Hoa Binh province until 2030. To carry out
the PM’s decision, the provincial Party Committee issued a resolution on the
development of the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area into a national one. Following
that, a detailed plan was launched by the provincial People’s Committee to
implement the resolution, featuring such activities as attracting resources for
investment infrastructure, stepping up investment promotion, and developing
tourism products in line with the master plan.
Hoa Binh Lake was identified
as a key tourism area in the province, focusing on high-quality tourism
associated with environmental protection.
Provincial authorities are
working to attract potential businesses to developing high-quality tourism
products that generate high added value and help fuel sustainable economic
restructuring. They are also directing sectors and localities to boost the creation
of ecological, resort, and cultural tourism products; the popularisation of the
lake’s image; personnel training; the connection of tours; the mobilisation of
resources for tourism infrastructure construction; and the development of
environmentally friendly tourism products imbued with local cultural identities,
thereby adding to the attractiveness of Hoa Binh Lake.
On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, visitors from near and far are eager to come to the mountainous district of Da Bac to have unique cultural experiences such as learning to wrap traditional cakes of ethnic minorities, practicing writing ancient Tay characters or immersing themselves in the Tay melodies.
Tan Lac has great potential for tourism development. In addition, the Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU, dated October 17, 2022, on building the highland communes in Tan Lac district into provincial-level tourism areas by 2030, with a vision to 2050. However, according to the assessment, implementing the goals in the spirit of Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU has had limited results.
Recognising that tourism and agriculture are local strengths, Mai Chau district is committed to building a green economy through an action program with specific pathways, achieving notable results in line with the resolution of the 26th Party Congress of the district.
With its majestic natural landscapes, diverse ethnic cultures, and numerous unique festivals, Hoa Binh province is an attractive destination that entices travellers from far and wide to explore and experience during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
