(HBO) - The Hoa Binh chapter of the Vietnam Women's Union in collaboration with the center for community education and development and the Coca-Cola Vietnam has organised a conference on training skills for developing community-based and sustainable tourism in the province. Attending the event were representatives of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and more than 50 officials and businesswomen working in the field.
At the conference.
The event aimed to raise awareness of the public,
particularly women working in the accommodation service sector, on the
importance of community-based development in line with the province’s socio-economic
growth, improvement of living standards, promotion of cultural identities, and
quality of lodging services.
At the conference, experts analysed the opportunity for
developing the domestic travel market after COVID-19 and presented a series of
knowledge to participants. The knowledge includes how to build a community
network for homestay services; how to build trademark and advertise based on
local culture; and how to cook and decorate local food; among others.
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.
