Phuoc hoa: Phuoc Hoa irrigation reservoir in southern Dong Nai province, already a critical water regulator and freshwater source for the southeast region, covers more than 2,000 ha and is emerging as a prime candidate for large-scale tourism and ecological development, though it remains largely untapped. Economists pointed out that the Be River encircles the site, creating the 2,077-ha Phuoc Hoa lake, a national-level reservoir that feeds Dau Tieng lake and Dong Nai river system.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the reservoir’s strategic location and expansive area present significant potential for transforming the site into a major tourist attraction. The development could boost the local economy by attracting visitors interested in eco-friendly tourism and outdoor activities, leveraging the natural beauty and biodiversity of the region.

Economists emphasize the importance of sustainable development to ensure the ecological balance of the reservoir and surrounding areas. The integration of eco-tourism initiatives could provide educational opportunities and promote conservation efforts, aligning with global trends towards sustainable and responsible tourism.

Local authorities and investors are encouraged to collaborate on viable plans to develop infrastructure and services that cater to tourists while preserving the natural environment. The reservoir’s potential transformation into a tourism hub could serve as a model for similar projects in the region, highlighting the benefits of balancing development with environmental stewardship.
