(HBO) - The State management over tourism in Hoa Binh remains inadequate due to lack of managers and qualified human resources for the sector.
The art troupe of Thai Binh ward (Hoa Binh city)
was joined by tourists in a Xoe dance at the Muong Culture Space Museum.
In order to develop tourism into a spearhead economic sector, the
provincial Steering Committee for Tourism Development has set out specific
tasks and solutions, of which an important one is developing human resources
serving the sector.
On the one hand, the province will build preferential mechanisms for
attracting qualified human resources for the local tourism industry (with
priority given to building a contingent of professional and competitive tourist
workers), thus enhancing the sector’s competitiveness and attracting more
tourists to the locality. On the other hand, the locality will focus on the training
work, thus improving professional capacity and skills for staff in charge of State
management of tourism at all levels, and the management capacity for units,
enterprises, and business households involved in tourism.
Training will also be provided for persons who are working at tourism
sites, hotels, restaurants. Attention will be given to training local labourers
for service jobs at tourism sites, in hospitality establishments and in transporting
visitors, especially in the Hoa Binh Lake national tourism area and Mai Chau
district. The province will promote social investment, especially cooperation
and involvement of enterprises and organisations, in human resource training
for tourism.
These orientations have been concretised into specific action programmes,
under which more training courses in tourism skills were held in 2017.
Mr. Lo Cao Nhum, who runs a household tourism business in Lac village,
Chieng Chau commune in Mai Chau district, said in July 2017, the provincial
Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism organised a five-day training course on
homestay tourism for business households in the district. At the course, lecturers
from the Hanoi Tourism College provided learners with basic skills in serving
tourists at homestay accommodations; in communicating and handling various situations
arising in the process of serving visitors; as well as in ensuring security, safety,
and food hygiene.
"The course helped us run our business in a more professional and effective
manner”, he stressed, adding that almost kids in the locality can now use
English to communicate with foreign tourists. /.
Located just a 20-minute drive from Hoa Binh City, Ora Hill Farmstay & Glamping Hoa Binh is a captivating new destination nestled in Mo hamlet, Bình Thanh commune, Cao Phong district. Combining farming with leisure, this tranquil retreat is perfect for those seeking balance, joy, and an immersive experience in the expansive beauty of nature.
Muong Bi - Tan Lac is renowned as one of the four famous Muong regions in Hoa Binh province. Blessed by nature with a favourable climate and stunning landscapes, Tan Lac holds great advantages for tourism development. The local tourism industry has made remarkable strides in recent times thanks to the attention and support from the local authorities and sectors.
With its strategic location, well-developed transport network, and diverse soil and climatic conditions, Hoa Binh is emerging as a must-visit destination in Vietnam's northwestern tourism corridor. The province boasts numerous attractions, including the Kim Boi hot springs (Kim Boi district), the Dau Rong cave complex (Cao Phong), the Mai Chau valley (Mai Chau), and the iconic Hoa Binh hydropower plant.
The northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh has been listed among the 71 most beautiful places to visit worldwide by the prestigious US travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller.
Hoa Binh province’s rich natural and cultural resources position it as a prime location for developing community-based tourism (CBT). In recent years, support from central and provincial policies, as well as assistance from non-governmental organisations, have encouraged local ethnic minority and mountainous communities to actively engage in the sector.
