on supporting investors and accommodation establishments, especially in
transport infrastructure, and telecommunications; starting work on several
tourism projects and speeding up construction on ongoing ones; strengthening management
over national and provincial relic sites.
He also asked districts and Hoa Binh city to pay attention
to directing communes to supervise and ensure the progress and quality of work
