as Quang Binh, Quang Nam, Khanh Hoa, Quang Ninh, Thua Thien-Hue and Da Nang.
The province prioritises developing human resources towards
professionalism, civilisation and improving their competitiveness to meet the
needs of tourists. Attention will be paid to on-the-spot training at resorts,
tourist attractions, hotels and restaurants, especially at Hoa Binh lake and
Mai Chau tourist areas. Priority will be given to supporting professional
training for ethnic minorities engaged in tourism in community-based tourism
villages.

improve the quality of human resources in the field of tourism service
business, focusing on supporting start-ups, transport businesses and households
that engage in community-based tourism.

institutions to offer training on tour guides, cooking and receptionists for
households that offer homestay services as well as restaurants in the districts
of Da Bac, Mai Chau, Kim Boi, Cao Phong, Tan Lac and Hoa Binh city to
contribute to promoting tourism development in general and community-based
tourism in particular./.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
According to the Hoa Binh provincial Department of Planning and Investment, in Hoa Binh Lake tourist area, there are currently 16 licensed or certified service, cultural and tourism investment projects with a land use area of about 1,444 hectares, and a total capital of over 3.3 trillion VND (133.5 million USD). In addition to investment attraction, the province is speeding up the implementation of projects so as to realise a goal of developing Hoa Binh Lake tourist area into a national one.
These days, tourist attractions in Mai Chau district, especially those highlighted by the charming and romantic white Ban (Bauhinia) flower blossoms, are attracting a large number of visitors from across the country. Visiting these sites, tourists can immerse themselves in the pristine and majestic beauty of nature.
