TMG Chairman of the Board of Directors Tran Trong Kien

project to develop Hoa Binh Lake tourism, expected to be piloted in May and
June from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport to Hoa Binh Lake; a project to
expand Mai Chau Lodge and build a community-based cultural centre in the
district; and tours to Hoa Binh and high-quality real estate and resort projects.
He suggested the province pay attention, create conditions
and introduce potential investment locations for the group to research and
implement projects in the province, thus improving service quality, and
building and promoting the tourism brand of Hoa Binh province. He also pledged
to focus resources on investing in quality products, contributing to the
locality’s tourism development.
Addressing the meeting, Tuan acknowledged TMG’s
contributions to the province over the past years. Backing its investment
proposals, he asked the provincial People’s Committee to set up a working group
to work with the TMG in considering the opening of a pilot hydroplane service,
adjusting the planning to expand the Mai Chau Lodge with the aim to have
Victoria Mai Chau Lodge in 2023, and reviewing Hoa Binh Lake projects to open
more tours and attract more investment in this field./.
Local people across Hoa Binh province enjoyed the festive spirit of the 2025 Lunar New Year (Tet) with joy, cultural traditions, and heartfelt family gatherings.
During this Lunar New Year (Tet), residents of Vay Nua commune, Da Bac district are joyfully celebrating the arrival of spring with various festive activities. Along the main road of the commune, a newly installed solar-powered streetlight system stands out, completed just before Tet. Funded by Agribank Hoa Binh with a total investment of approximately 80 million VND (over 3,100 USD), the project has already proven beneficial. Not only does it enhance the rural landscape, but it also improves road safety and security, adding to the New Year’s cheer for the people of Vay Nua.
Nestled in Tan Lac district, Van Son commune boasts a breathtaking landscape reminiscent of a serene, poetic painting. Winding roads gracefully embrace the hillsides, enhancing the commune’s natural charm. As spring spreads its vibrant colours, the lives of local people continue to improve day by day.
The trade union of Hoa Binh province’s industrial parks has presented meaningful gifts to workers with difficulties, ensuring that they will have a warm Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development's report, in 2024, the appropriate authorities regularly propagated and disseminated forest protection management, forest development, and forest fire prevention and fighting.
The Lunar New Year, At Ty, 2025 is approaching. The gardeners in the peach growing area of Toan Son commune (Da Bac) are busy transporting, bringing spring to every home.
