Hanoi allows 10 types of services to do business on West Lake

The Hanoi People’s Committee has recently issued regulations for the management and utilization of West Lake. The regulations permit 10 types of services, which include golf practice courses, water transport services, cultural and sports services, traditional festivals, boat races, water musical performances, hot air balloon and paragliding activities, swimming, diving, boating, canoeing, water cycling, windsurfing, and electric vehicles, bicycles, and cyclos traveling on walking routes around West Lake.

The city has also established requirements for environmental management, including wastewater, lake water, and water levels, lake surface cleaning, air environment, waste, and garbage, as well as infrastructure, planning, construction, and architecture. The City People’s Committee mandates that all organizations and individuals engaged in production, business, and service activities must take measures to treat dust, emissions, and noise to meet environmental standards. Organizations and individuals that spread harmful emissions, causing dust, noise, and other factors that affect the environment, health, and daily life of surrounding communities will be dealt with under current regulations.

The city has assigned the People’s Committee of Tay Ho district as the focal point for comprehensive management, coordinating with city departments and branches to manage and utilize West Lake. Earlier, on January 31, the People’s Committee of Tay Ho District held a ceremony to launch the West Lake Management Board, a public service unit that is directly under the People’s Committee of Tay Ho District. The West Lake Management Board is responsible for comprehensive, centralized, and unified management of the West Lake area and its surroundings.
