Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Nguyen Van Toan and central and local officials mark the start of the 2022
travel stimulus programme of Hoa Binh.
Themed "Hoa Binh, safe tourism destination -
full experience”, the programme aims to assist enterprises in the industry to
recover their operations. It also looks to introduce Hoa Binh as a safe
destination with a wide range of attractive experiences to the public and
visitors.
With enhanced communications, event
organisation, and destination introduction, the programme is expected to create
conditions for units, localities, and travel companies to cooperate with one
another to revive and develop the sector while safe adapting to and effectively
controlling the COVID-19, thereby helping welcome 2.5 million visitors and earn
over 2.4 trillion VND (104.7 million USD) in revenue this year as targeted by
Hoa Binh.
As part of the conference, businesses also
announced their travel stimulus packages.
Addressing the event, Vice Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan asked departments, sectors,
members of the Hoa Binh tourism steering committee, and district-level People’s
Committees to press on with implementing the province’s tourism development
project for 2021 - 2025 with a vision to 2030, as well as Plan No. 44/KH-UBND,
issued by the provincial People’s Committee on March 9 this year, on travel
stimulation.
Tourism businesses should realise their
announced commitments by reducing prices but not quality and developing new
products so as to meet tourists’ growing demand. It is also necessary to step
up communications to introduce promotional programmes and new services while
encouraging civilised behaviours and the adherence to the 5K principle (khau
trang - wearing face masks, khu khuan - disinfection, khoang cach - keeping
distance, khai bao - making health declaration, khong tu tap - no gathering).
The Vietnam Tourism Association, travel firms, along with central and local
media outlets should also support stimulus programmes of local businesses, he
added./.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
