the handover of the portal
The smart tourism portal of Hoa Binh is a component of the smart urban
development solution, using information and communication technology to form a
tourism ecosystem and create mutual reciprocal benefits among visitors,
authorities and businesses, contributing to sustainable economic development.
The system is expected to help State management agencies improve the efficiency
of tourism management, ensure security and social order, promote tourism,
develop international markets and increase budget collection thanks to social
investment in tourism.
After the project was approved, the provincial Department of Information and
Communications worked with the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and
Tourism and the VNPT Hoa Binh to promptly build the portal.
Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman Toan emphasised that the portal is an
effective support tool for local tourism development while also promoting
digital transformation in tourism under the national and local digital
transformation scheme, contributing to gradually realising goals and tasks set
in Resolution on tourism development adopted by the provincial Party Congress.
Lauding the provincial Department of Information and Communications for
ensuring the project’s progress, he asked the Department of Culture, Sports and
Tourism to effectively operate and manage the system. The Department of
Information and Communications must ensure servers, IT infrastructure and
information safety at the local data centre while popularising the portal among
local organisations, enterprises and residents. The VNPT Hoa Binh will continue
offering technical support to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and
further perfect the system in the future while continuing to operating the wifi
system free of charge as committed./.
As the new year begins and festive spirit fills the air, visitors flock to Hoa Binh lake, often dubbed the "Ha Long Bay on land," to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. In spring, the lake comes alive with lush greenery and delicate blossoms, while boats carrying eager tourists glide across its tranquil waters.

Tien Pagoda is located in the valley of Lao Noi and Lao Ngoai villages, Phu Nghia commune, Lac Thuy district; it is surrounded by two mountain ranges stretching like two giant dragons reaching for the blue sky.
