the handover of the portal
The smart tourism portal of Hoa Binh is a component of the smart urban
development solution, using information and communication technology to form a
tourism ecosystem and create mutual reciprocal benefits among visitors,
authorities and businesses, contributing to sustainable economic development.
The system is expected to help State management agencies improve the efficiency
of tourism management, ensure security and social order, promote tourism,
develop international markets and increase budget collection thanks to social
investment in tourism.
After the project was approved, the provincial Department of Information and
Communications worked with the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and
Tourism and the VNPT Hoa Binh to promptly build the portal.
Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman Toan emphasised that the portal is an
effective support tool for local tourism development while also promoting
digital transformation in tourism under the national and local digital
transformation scheme, contributing to gradually realising goals and tasks set
in Resolution on tourism development adopted by the provincial Party Congress.
Lauding the provincial Department of Information and Communications for
ensuring the project’s progress, he asked the Department of Culture, Sports and
Tourism to effectively operate and manage the system. The Department of
Information and Communications must ensure servers, IT infrastructure and
information safety at the local data centre while popularising the portal among
local organisations, enterprises and residents. The VNPT Hoa Binh will continue
offering technical support to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and
further perfect the system in the future while continuing to operating the wifi
system free of charge as committed./.
Hoa Binh province’s rich natural and cultural resources position it as a prime location for developing community-based tourism (CBT). In recent years, support from central and provincial policies, as well as assistance from non-governmental organisations, have encouraged local ethnic minority and mountainous communities to actively engage in the sector.
Van Son Commune, Tan Lạc district, Hoa Binh province also known as "Cloud Valley," boasts a cool climate, stunning natural landscapes, and majestic scenery. Visitors who have been to this place should make a stop at Chien Hamlet to experience a lot of fascinating things and feel the friendly, warmth of the Muong ethnic people.
Thanks to the effective exploitation of natural landscape and the cultural diversity of ethnic minorities, Hoa Binh province has become an attractive destination for tourists seeking experiences and exploration.
The Department of Cultural Heritage has just coordinated with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province to organize a training on implementing the model of the cultural heritage connected in the cultural tourism journey in Cao Phong and Lac Son districts.
The Sung village in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district, is endowed with pristine natural landscape, and Dao Tien ethnic minority community in the village preserves rich cultural heritage, including traditional housing, clothing, language, scripts, customs, and daily life practices. Since the community-based tourism model was introduced in the locality, these traditional cultural values have been further preserved and promoted.
