(HBO) - Recently, the Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued a decision approving the 1/25,000-scale construction planning project for Kim Boi district up to 2040. Accordingly, the orientation for Kim Boi district is to develop tourism, eco-agriculture, and health care services, presenting a significant opportunity for the locality to make a strong breakthrough in development.

Transport infrastructure development in Bo town contributes to tourism development.

Tran Tuan Son, Vice Chairman of the district People's Committee, said the district is enhancing cooperation with departments, agencies and units to expedite the planning progress, integrating it into the province's master plan, thus laying a foundation to manage planning and efficiently tap advantages for sustainable development.

As Kim Boi is a key urban and tourist development area in the province, the province has paid attention to attracting investment and pooling resources from both domestic and foreign budgets to support the district's development.

The district is now home to 25 tourism investment projects, with several ongoing projects like Venus resort, a complex of cultural tourism and resort services which spreads across Kim Boi and Lac Son districts, and Apec Mandala Sky Villas Kim Boi project in Mo Da hamlet.

The population in the district is projected to reach 145,000 by 2030, with about 50,800 residing in urban areas. The urbanisation rate will be some 35%. During the 2020-2030 period, the population is forecast to grow by 24,900. By 2040, the population growth rate is estimated at 1.7%, with the population in the planning area to reach about 171,600 and urban population at around 77,200, resulting in an urbanisation rate of 45%. The population is expected to increase by additional 26,600 people from 2030 to 2040.

Kim Boi district is divided into three sub-regions: Sub-region 1 includes two communes (Du Sang and Tu Son) and Bai Chao urban area (comprising three communes: Vinh Tien, Dong Bac, Binh Son, and part of Tu Son commune), which will focus on developing leisure tourism tied to mineral hot springs, cultural tourism, clean industrial parks, and farms. The Sub-region 2 (the district's centre) covers four communes (Hop Tien, Xuan Thuy, Kim Lap, and Hung Son) and Bo town (including the former Bo town and the expected expansion area in Vinh Dong and Kim Boi communes), where urban areas, services, hot springs resort tourism, health care, and forestry and eco-tourism will be developed. The Sub-region 3 covers three communes (Cuoi Ha, Nuong Dam, and My Hoa) and Bai Xe town (comprising two communes: Nam Thuong and Sao Bay), which is earmarked for clean agriculture, hot spring leisure tourism and health care, eco-agricultural tourism, and experiential tourism.
