The tasks for the planning include defining the directions for land use, social and technical infrastructure, environmental sanitation, and services for the tourism site. The planning should also design connectivity between the site and other scenic spots and tourism sites in the region.

The planning should show how to optimize the exploitation of the values of local landscape, ethnic culture and local identity for tourism development at the site, while creating a legal foundation for the site's management and development as well as for the implementation of other projects and planning schemes.

Under the approved planning tasks, the Hoa Binh Lake national tourism site is located in Hoa Binh city and four districts of Da Bac, Cao Phong, Tan Lac and Mai Chau.
