(HBO) - During the implementation process of the National Target Programme on New-style Rural Area Building, Resolution No.03 of Tan Lac district’s Party Committee on developing tourism in association with the building of new-style rural areas in the 2016-2020 period with a vision to 2030 is one among the resolutions creating a breakthrough in the locality’s socio-economic development.
The rural road system in Thanh
Hoi commune meets standards and meets demand for travel and trade exchanges of
locals.
With specific targets
and solutions, the resolution showed the district’s determination to develop
tourism into a spearhead economic sector. To date, the district has had four
community-based tourism areas with 18 homestays.
Regarding new-style
rural building, over the past years, the district has effectively carried out
the movement "Tan Lac district joining hands in building new-style rural areas”.
Departments, offices and organisations have encouraged locals to participate in
this work with specific deeds such as the Women’s Union with the models of "5
Nos, 3 Clean” and roads self-governed by women; the Veterans’ Association with
the green fence model, and the Youth Union with the volunteer Saturday
movement, and the Farmers’ Association with the movement of developing
economics in association with the market.
After 10 years
implementing the national target programme, the face of rural areas has thrived.
The district has five communes meeting all 19 criteria and 10 others achieving
10-14 criteria, raising the average rate to 14.7 criteria per commune. Tan Lac
has paid special attention to production development; as well as carrying out
production and consumption linkages of red grapefruit, caged fish, vegetables,
and Nam Son mandarin; and encouraging co-operatives to participate in value
chains. The average per capita income is 31.7 million VND per year, and the
poverty rate is reduced to 10.54 percent./.
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.
