An efficient $2\mathrm{\mu m}$ room temperature Ho: ${\mathrm{YVO}}_4$ laser resonantly pumped by a $1.94\mathrm{\mu m}$ Tm:YAP laser is demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, in this Letter. Up to $8.58\mathrm{W}$ of laser output at $2053\mathrm{nm}$ is obtained with the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency as much as 41.2%. The output beam had quality of $M^2$ factor with $M{x}^2$ of 3.58 and $M{y}^2$ of 1.76 at $8\mathrm{W}$ output level. In addition, we also obtained $4.18\mathrm{W}$ laser output at $2066\mathrm{nm}$ and $7.04\mathrm{W}$ at $2040\mathrm{nm}$ from the Ho: ${\mathrm{YVO}}_4$ laser with conversion efficiency of 27.8% and 33.8%, respectively.
