(HBO) – Developing Mai Chau into a key tourism area and an attractive, hospitable and safe travel destination of Hoa Binh province is part of the targets set at the 26th Party Congress of the district for the 2020 - 2025 tenure. Dinh Duc Lan, member of the provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the district Party Committee, has granted an interview about the issue to the Hoa Binh Newspaper.
The beauty of Mai
Chau township in Mai Chau district.
The official said the district’s Party
organisation made a detailed plan for implementing the resolutions of the 13th
National Party Congress and the 17th provincial Party Congress.
As a result, Mai Chau has managed to tap into
agricultural, tourism, and service development potential. It is currently home
to nearly 20 tourism projects, some of which have high quality such as Avana
Resort, Mai Chau Lodge, Mai Chau Ecolodge, Ba Khan Village Resort, and Mai Chau
Hideaway Resort. Many community-based tourist sites have taken shape in Chieng
Chau, Na Phon, Son Thuy, Hang Kia, and Pa Co communes.
Despite significant achievements, Mai Chau
remains a mountainous district with numerous difficulties, Lan admitted.
In the time ahead, he said, the district will
push ahead with implementing the resolutions on the Party building and the
Politburo’s Directive No. 05 on stepping up the studying and following of late
President’s ideology, moral example and style. It will also improve local Party
organisations’ leadership and combatant capacity so that the Party’s
resolutions will be carried out quickly and fruitfully.
In particular, Mai Chau will boost coordination
with relevant parties to assess potential and advantages, conduct planning, and
attract resources for infrastructure development, especially transport
facilities linking with tourist attractions. It will encourage investors to
build high-end hotels, resorts, entertainment centres, and restaurants to serve
travellers.
Besides, it will facilitate local communities’
engagement in tourism activities; propose mechanisms for supporting
disadvantaged areas, including remote areas and the communes located in the
vicinity of Hoa Binh Lake; develop agriculture in tandem with tourism products;
and effectively carry out social security policies to improve people’s material
and spiritual life.
Authorities will also instruct tourism service
providers to improve service quality; protect landscapes and the environment;
create cultural tourism products linked with local festivals, craft villages,
and communities; and build up Mai Chau as a hospitable destination with which
all visitors are satisfied when setting foot here, according to the
Secretary./.
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.
