(HBO) - Tourism is considered as one of the advantageous economic sector in Lac Thuy district, especially spiritual tourism. This is also considered as one of the key economic sectors that bring great revenue to the local budget. However, in order to exploit this advantage, the district has faced with some difficulties, especially in terms of infrastructure. Therefore, the priority of improving this issue is being paid attention by Lac Thuy district.
The Printing Factory Relic Area, Co Nghia
commune (Lac Thuy) attracts many tourists inside and outside the province to
visit.
According to
statistics, Lac Thuy district currently has 85 relics, in which six relics have
been classified as the national relics by the Ministry of Culture and
Information, 11 relics are at provincial level and 29 relics need to be
protected. This is the basis for Lac Thuy district to develop tourism, in which
spiritual tourism is one of the strengths of the locality.
Identifying that tourism and services are important economic
sectors in the economic structure of the district, every year, the district promotes propaganda in
many forms and on the mass media about the country and people of Lac Thuy district. Especially, the sites of
sightseeing, scenery and cultural history of Tien pagoda, Phu Lao commune, the historic revolutionary
siteof the first revolutionary site of the first revolutionary printing house in Co
Nghia commune with the
international and domestic visitors, all of which make the
highlight of tourism activities, attracting many visitors to visit.
However, tourism in the
district has not developed adequately with the potential as well as available advantage. The revenue as well as the
number of visitors visiting in the early months of 2018 decreased 10% over the same period in 2017. This is
partly due to the fact that local tourism activities are mainly spontaneous; the connections amongroutes and tourist destinations are not effective; the tourism promotion and investment is not much, the State management of
tourism has not really been thorough and has not created the typical tourism products of the locality.
Gia Trang Heian Homestay, a unique cultural oasis in the heart of Hoa Binh city, has become a compelling attraction for tourists seeking ethnic cultural experiences within an urban setting. Bui Thi Hien, a local in Kim Boi district with aspiration for ethnic culture and community-based tourism development, created the homestay that seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary features.
To make tourism a key economic sector, Da Bac district has focused on investing in infrastructure, diversifying tourism products, and enhancing promotion efforts to create breakthroughs in developing the smokeless industry.
