(HBO) – Following the Prime Minister’s approval of a plan to develop the Hoa Binh Lake tourism site, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province has proposed the provincial Party Committee and People's Committee to build and implement a tourism human resources training plan which aims at creating sustainable livelihoods and improving living standards of people in the area.

Regarding households living along the Hoa Binh Lake with potential for community-based tourism development, the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has opened several classes, including one in Ngoi hamlet (Ngoi Hoa commune) and another on the Coconut island (Thung Nai commune). In addition, the department has run classes on developing tourism products and promoting destinations for locals, most recently in Tien hamlet, Thung Nai commune. It has also organised tours and trips to study tourism models in Vinh Phuc province, Moc Chau district (Son La province), and Thai Nguyen province.

 

In the past, lakeside hamlets mostly involved in agriculture, forestry and fishing. Now, many of them, such as Ngoi hamlet (Ngoi Hoa commune), Ke hamlet (Hien Luong commune), and Da Bia hamlet (Tien Phong commune) have moved to developing homestay tourism services. Bui Thi Nhem, whose family offers homestay services in Da Bia hamlet, Tien Phong commune, said that local households have been supported to acquire basic tourism knowledge and skills, including customer services, service quality management, communication and cooking skills. The hamlet has four homestays, with the number of domestic and international visitors increasing significantly. Community-based tourism activities are bringing about practical outcomes, both improving living conditions and preserving cultural values./.
