(HBO) - Tourism development and awareness of tourism among ethnic people in Tan Lac district of the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh have seen positive progress.
Since the beginning of the
year, the district served 76,000 visitors, up 920 tourists against the same
period last year. Of the number, 75,086 are domestic visitors and 920 foreign
holidaymakers, raking in nearly 8.4 billion VND (370,000 USD).
Local people in Ai hamlet in Phong Phu commune (Tan Lac
district) operate home-stay facilities and earn more from tourism.
The district’s total
tourism revenues reached 15.06 billion VND (660,000 USD), up by 4.6 billion VND
year-on-year. Some investors with potential have registered to conduct research
for their tourism development plans, with two projects in Quyet Chien and Ngoi
Hoa communes and nine community-based tourism establishments receiving approval
from the local authorities./.
Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
