(HBO) - Da Bac district in the northwestern province of Hoa Binh has created a facelift in infrastructure over the recent years, helping boost production and increase local incomes. Particularly, with the high determination of the district’s Party Committee and People’s Committee, Da Bac has achieved positive outcomes in rural building and tourism development.

With
the support of local authorities, villagers have changed their mindset to make
investment in tourism development, especially tapping cultural values to
develop community-based tourism. Ke, Sung, and Da Bia hamlets have made their
way to the local tourism map, luring both domestic and international tourists.
Da Bia hamlet is one of the three community-based tourism sites nationwide to
receive the ASEAN community tourism award in 2019.
Besides, the district is also tapping fishery
development potential by building a production cooperation chain and market
connection. Many businesses have invested in building brands for Da River’s
fish, contributing to poverty reduction in the area.
The mountainous district is also leading in
applying information and management technology. Previously, it took several
days to reach Da Bac’s hamlets as they were accessible only by foot, but now it
is just a few hours by cars. The production mindset of local farmers has also
changed. Many have learned to use and manage banks’ capital to develop animal
husbandry, grow forestry, and fruits.
In the five-year implementation of the
resolution adopted at the district’s 24th Party Congress, Da Bac district
reached and surpassed 23 out of the 24 criteria. The district focused on
addressing natural disasters’ consequences and soon stabilised the life of
locals victimised by flash floods and landslides.
In the coming years, local authorities
will push ahead with reforms and increase capacity, responsibility of officials
and Party members, as well as creating social consensus to help the district
get out of poverty and achieve sustainable development./.
