(HBO) - The Culture and Tourism Week Hoa Binh - 2019 is underway from December 6-12, aiming to promote cultural values, and the beauty of local landscapes and people. On the occasion, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh gave an interview to Hoa Binh Newspaper on the target and significance of the event, as well as expectations for it.
Chairman Khanh affirmed that this is a large-scale political
and culture event of Hoa Binh province, aiming to introduce and honour the
local cultural characteristics, the values of the local culture, land and
people of Hoa Binh as well as of national cultural heritage in the province. It
also creates a space for artists to meet and exchange experience, thus contributingto raising public awareness of the
importance of conserving the traditional culture values of ethnic groups in Hoa
Binh province and adjacent localities.
Another important goal of the event is to promote tourism
potential and strengths of Hoa Binh, thus attracting more investment to this
field, contributing to the locality’s socio-economic development.
With its advantages of geographical position and potentials, in recent years, Hoa
Binh has paid due attention to attracting investment for tourism development,
Khanh said.
According to Khanh, in December 2016, the provincial Party Committee’s StandingBoard
issued Resolution No. 10-NQ/TU on tourism development in Hoa Binh province to
2020, with a vision to 2030.
The provincial Party Committee also issued a decision assigning
specific tasks to provincial leaders in implementing the locality’s key
projects, including tourism investment projects.
The provincial People’s Committee has built and effectively implemented the
project on tourism development to 2020, with a vision to 2030, he said.
Hoa
Binh has so far developed many attractive and unique tourism destinations such
as Hoa Binh lake tourism site, Lac - Mai Chau village, Kim Boi mineral water spring,
Tien pagoda in Lac Thuy district, the Rong (Dragon) mountain cave complex in
Cao Phong district, Chua Thac Bo temple, and golf courses.
However, Khanh said that these results, though encouraging, have yet to match the
locality’s potential and strengths.
Featuring a wide range of attractive activities, the
five-day Culture and Tourism Week is hoped to attract domestic and foreign
tourists, Khanh said, adding that representatives from a number of foreign
embassies in Vietnam are also attending the event.
The event provides good opportunities for local enterprises and people to introduce
new products, thus promoting investment, trade and tourism cooperation, gradually
building the province’s tourism trademark as an attractive and friendly
destination, towards enhancing Hoa Binh’s position and image both in and
outside the country, the Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee said./.
