(HBO) - According to Do Le Phuong, deputy head of the tourism management section under the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province, it is necessary to pay heed to training and improving the quality of the human resources at the Hoa Binh Lake tourism area in order to satisfy the increasing demand of visitors.
With knowledge and skills acquired at training courses, the

district) confidently guides visitors in cooking local dishes.
Phuong said immediately after the Prime Minister's approval of the
Development Plan for Hoa Binh Lake national tourism area, the Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism has suggested the provincial Party Committee and People's
Committee build a training plan to improve the quality of local human resources.
He explained that labourers working at tourist sites in the Hoa Binh Lake area
are mostly farmers who are accustomed to agricultural work, and do not have knowledge
and skills in tourism.
In order to equip households
in the area with knowledge and skills for running tourism business, the
Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism held many training courses in Ngoi
Hoa commune (Tan Lac district), Dua island and Thung Nai commune (Cao Phong
district).
Most recently, the Department organised a course to train lake tour guides for
31 locals. In addition, the Department
collaborated with the culture and sports offices of the districts of Mai Chau,
Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Tan Lac to open training courses on skills related to "One
commune – one product” (OCOP) rural tourism services in 2019 for households who
are providing tourism services in the Hoa Binh Lake national tourism area.
Besides, the
provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has also organised
training courses to equip organisations and individuals operating in inland
waterway transport business as well as ship helmsmen and sailors with basic
skills in eco-tourism activities on rivers, an overview of Hoa Binh tourism,
the Tourism Law, the Law on Inland Waterway Transport; knowledge related to first
aid and emergency; and communication skills.
As a result, order has been established in activities of transporting waterway
tourists on the Hoa Binh Lake area. The travel ships anchor at designated
sites, and solicitation of tourists by boat owners has ended. The ships are
equipped with life jackets, medical equipment, rescue medicine cabinets, and garbage
bins.
With knowledge provided in training courses, the crew members on ships became
skilled tour guides, contributing to promoting the locality’s beauty to
visitors.
The Department also organised fact-finding
trips for households that provide
tourism services in the Hoa Binh Lake area to learn about effective tourism models in the province and other localities such Vinh Phuc,
Son La, Yen Bai, Quang Ninh and Thai Nguyen. Through these activities, the
quality of tourism human resources in the Hoa Binh lake area has been
constantly improved, meeting requirements of tourists./.
Boasting favourable transport system, stunning landscapes, and an array of wellness resorts, Hoa Binh has been an ideal antidote for relieving stress.
April 30th and May 1st with 5 days off is the ideal time for families to choose the relaxing destinations and find a peaceful place. Thanks to the advantage of convenient transportation, mountainous terrain with wild beauty, cool climate, the resorts and health care areas in Hoa Binh province attract tourists on this occasion.
Currently, the tourism products of Yen Thuy district are mainly the festival and spiritual tourism. In addition to ensuring a civilized lifestyle in the religious activities, the party committees and the local authorities at all levels always focus on preserving the value of historical, cultural relics and festivals associated with exploiting tourism strengths.
The picturesque scenery of Hoa Binh Lake has endowed its tourism site with a unique allure. In recent years, localities have been harnessing the potential of the lake area and domestic and international tourists have chosen the site for sightseeing and leisure journeys.
The Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is expected to become a national tourism site by 2030, focusing on developing synchronous and modern technical facilities, and high-quality and branded tourism products imbued with national cultural identities. The tourist site also aims to become the largest tourist centre in the province, and one of 12 key tourist areas in the Northern midland and mountainous region
On April 5th, in Hoa Binh city, the Tourism Association of Hoa Binh province and Tourism Association of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province jointly organized a conference to promote cooperation and tourism development. There was the attendance of Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
