Vice Chairman of Bac Kan Provincial People's Committee Pham Duy Hung said that the development of this Project is necessary to have a scientific and practical basis, as well as clear and specific development orientations and plans to help Ba Be tourism effectively promote its values, commensurate with its inherent potential, change the local economic structure, and contribute to preserving and maintaining cultural identity and ecological environment.
According to the Project, by 2030, Ba Be Tourist Area will meet the criteria for recognition as a national tourist area according to the Law on Tourism. After 2030, the tourist area will operate stably. Bac Kan strives to welcome 1 million visitors by 2030; about 1.35 million visitors by 2035; about 2 - 2.5 million visitors by 2050. By 2030, the tourist area will have at least 1 4-star hotel, 1 restaurant with a capacity of over 500 seats, 100% of service facilities meeting standards for serving tourists; forming a National Tourist Area Management Board under the province; completing traffic and telecommunications infrastructure...
Ba Be tourist area is located in the northwest of Bac Kan province, about 74 km from Bac Kan city and about 250 km from Hanoi capital. Currently, the province is constructing the Bac Kan city - Ba Be Lake route with a length of about 39 km, expected to be completed in 2024 (which will shorten the distance from Hanoi to Ba Be Lake to only about 215 km), creating favorable conditions for travel and contributing to promoting local socio-economic development.
Ba Be tourist area has many potentials and advantages in terms of natural landscape, ecosystem and biodiversity, combined with the rich cultural traditions of ethnic minorities. In particular, the most prominent is the scenic Ba Be Lake in the core area of Ba Be National Park (Nam Mau commune, Ba Be district) with a total landscape conservation area of over 10,000 hectares. This area is not only outstanding in terms of biodiversity value but also has great geological and geomorphological values with unique natural landscapes such as: Dau Dang waterfall, Nang river canyon, Tien pond, Puong cave, An Ma island, Ba Goa island... In particular, Ba Be Lake is one of the few large and beautiful natural freshwater lakes on the mountain in the world. In addition, there are many cultural activities here with unique identities of ethnic minorities such as festivals, spirituality, beliefs...
Since 2004, Ba Be National Park has been recognized as an ASEAN Natural Heritage. At the International Conference on Freshwater Lakes held in the United States in March 2005, Ba Be Lake was included in the list of 20 most special freshwater lakes in the world that need to be protected and is the "green pearl of humanity". In 2011, Ba Be Lake was recognized by the Ramsar Convention Secretariat as a Ramsar site (a wetland of international importance). In Decision No. 1419/QD-TTg dated September 27, 2012 of the Prime Minister on the ranking of special national monuments, Ba Be Lake landscape is one of the special national monuments ranked.
As a famous eco-tourism area in the Northeast of Vietnam with many interesting and biologically diverse landscapes, Ba Be has a special position in tourism development, very convenient in connecting tours and routes such as: adjacent to ATK historical relic site (Cho Don district), Na Tu historical relic site (Bach Thong district), tourist attractions of Na Hang district (Tuyen Quang province), Pac Bo historical relic site and Ban Gioc waterfall (Cao Bang province)... The number of visitors to Ba Be tourist area is increasing. At the same time, many investors have been surveying and proposing ideas to implement investment and development projects in this tourist area.
However, in reality, Ba Be Tourist Area still has many problems that need to be solved such as: the criteria and targets for tourism development are not yet high, the interest from tourists and investors in tourism development is still limited, the number of tourists has not reached the expected level, the products and services are not really rich, the technical infrastructure system is not synchronized, and the human resources are not professional.
To develop tourism in Ba Be, the People's Committee of Bac Kan province has implemented the construction and is coordinating with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to complete the dossier to submit to the Prime Minister for approval of the plan to preserve and promote the value of Ba Be Lake's scenic landscape...
