Ba Be Lake, located in Ba Be National Park, is a valuable national tourism resource. Therefore, the Resolution of the Bac Kan Provincial Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term has identified one of the important tasks as building this landscape into a national tourist area.
According to the development plan, Bac Kan aims to protect tourism resources and increase the attractiveness of this area to tourists.
