(HBO) - The Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee has just issued Conclusion No. 800-KL/TU, dated September 28, 2022, on the preliminary review of the five-year implementation of Resolution No. 14-NQ/TU, dated June 22, 2017, on the development of Hoa Binh lake tourism site into a national-level one.

Currently, Hoa Binh lake tourism site meets three out
of five criteria of national one.
Accordingly, the Standing Board assessed that after five
years implementing the resolution, the awareness of the local Party committee,
authorities, business community and people in Hoa Binh lake tourism area has
improved, and tourism activities flourished. Currently, Hoa Binh lake tourism
site meets three out of the five criteria of national one.
To continue implementing the resolution's goals and tasks,
in the coming time, Hoa Binh will focus on strengthening the leadership and
direction of the Party committees and authorities in the implementation of
these goals, tasks and solutions so as to basically meet the criteria to become
a national tourism area by 2025, and a national tourist resort, with a
relatively modern and concerted infrastructure system, high-quality tourism
products imbued with ethnic cultural identities; the largest tourist centre of
Hoa Binh province, one of the 12 key tourism sites of the Northern Midlands and
Mountainous region by 2030.
The province continues to prioritise the State budget for
investment in upgrading infrastructure, especially roads, ports and marinas
connecting tourist destinations.
Attention will be paid to perfecting policies to attract
more investment to tourism development and assist in the quick settlement of
administrative procedures, site clearance, land use purpose change, and
expanding the application of science and technology and digitalisation in
investment, dissemination, and promotion of tourism advantages and products on
the mass media.
Hoa Binh will also continue to raise public awareness of the
position and role of the tourism industry in socio-economic development;
improve the efficiency of State management and promote the training of quality
human resources; encourage locals to preserve traditional customs and
practices, protect natural resources and the environment; and support them in
participating in tourism business, contributing to promoting tourism
development and preserving national cultural identity./.
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.
With effective business operations, significant increases in the number of visitors at weekends and on public holidays, and being listed among the 71 most beautiful places to visit worldwide by the prestigious US travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller, Hoa Binh’s tourism is "spreading its wings" on its journey towards the targets of welcoming 4.9 million visitors, including 1 million foreigners, and achieving total tourism revenue of 5.4 trillion VND (211.89 million USD) in 2025.

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. Every year, when spring comes, thousands of Buddhists and tourists from all over the country make a pilgrimage to Tien Pagoda. The relic complex of Tien Pagoda is ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with 21 relic sites of many types: historical and cultural relics, scenic relics, and archaeological relics.

A great number of visitors have flocked to tourist attractions in Hoa Binh province in the first lunar month every year to admire the beautiful scenery, fully enjoy the spring atmosphere, and immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere in many localities.
