(HBO) – Local people in the mountainous commune of Van Son in Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province for the last few years have developed tourism activities to improve their incomes besides traditional farming.
Improved roads in Ngo Luong commune, Tan Lac district, help boost local socio-economic development.
As the provincial Party Committee and People’s Committee
approved a resolution and programme on tourism development in mountainous
communes, residents are excited about the support that they will get to develop
community-based tourism models, and sustainable tourism, and increase their
incomes.
As one of the four ancient Muong regions and the cradle of the famous Hoa Binh
culture, the unique culture and peaceful landscape of Tan Lac district – former
known as Muong Bi - is an important resource to help the district develop
sustainable tourism.
Besides tourism, the district's authorities last year concretised the
resolutions of the Party Central Committee and the province, and issued
resolutions, schemes, plans, and action programmes to comprehensively implement
tasks in building the Party and political system.
Specifically, the district issued resolutions and directives on agricultural
and rural development, restructuring crops and livestock, attracting
investment, and supporting investors.
Production areas were planned associated with the new-style rural area, for
example, vegetable/fruit growing areas are developed in highland communes,
aquaculture growing areas in Suoi Hoa commune, pomelo-growing areas in communes
along road 12B, and urban areas in Man Duc town and Phong Phu commune.
In 2022, the district fulfilled or exceeded 14 out of 16 socio-economic goals
and saw total social investment of 2.54 trillion VND, and income per capital
reached 35.5 million VND.
In 2022, red-fleshed pomelo grown in Tan Lac district was first exported to the
UK, opening up opportunities to build a commodity production area linked to the
consumption market.Up to now, the district has 240 hectares of
red-fleshed pomelo meeting VietGap and organic farming standards.
The district is home to "Khai ha" (Summer opening) festival which was
recognised as a national cultural heritage. Meanwhile, Mo Muong is being
proposed for recognition as intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This is a
great potential and advantage for the district to develop tourism.
The district actively directed land clearance work for tourism projects.
Dinh Anh Tuan, Secretary of the Tan Lac District Party Committee, said that the
district is comprehensively implementing the Party and political system
building work, upholding the role of cadres and party members in performing
political tasks, strengthening land management, site clearance, and removing
difficulties for investment projects.
The district has also paid much attention to implementing solutions to preserve
and develop Muong Bi culture in association with building a new countryside,
improving the quality of people's lives./.
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.
