(HBO) – Lac Thuy district in Hoa Binh province has been recognized for putting together a sustainable development plan for the region in order to position itself as the economic driving force of the province in the future.
Tien
pagoda tourist site in Phu Nghia commune is part of Lac Thuy district’s tourism
development plan.
Lac Thuy is a lowland district
of Hoa Binh province, adjacent to areas that are drawing huge investment
dollars, such as Hanoi, Ha Nam and Ninh Binh. The region boasts strategic
traffic routes and favorable conditions for the development of commercial,
tourism, industry, agriculture, and forestry projects.
The district has 10 new projects
on the cards, with seven already budgeted out. Projects that are already
running include the Lac Thuy cultural tourism and resort project and the Huong
Binh cable car route project in Phu Lao commune, with total investment over
1,726 billion VND. The district is also implementing industrial infrastructure
planning in the Dong Tam, Phu Thanh and Thanh Nong industrial clusters, including
a number of important transport infrastructure projects to bolster
socio-economic development.
Lac Thuy district has asked
the province to support the Thanh Nong industrial cluster in accordance with
the local socio-economic development planning and expand the planning of
high-tech environmental industrial clusters in the 2025 – 2030 period from 56.8
ha to 75 ha. The district also proposed to add an eco-resort combined with a
golf course at Doi Do, An Binh commune.
The district has increased
funding for planning and management in the locality, scrutinizing ineffective
projects to ensure those that move forward are sustainable. Officials who undertake
the planning role in communes, townships and relevant agencies are selected
with appropriate professional qualifications and experience./.
